The Very Dental Podcast Network Putting Dr. Wayne Remington Under a Microscope (DHP218)
Today's episode features Dr. Wayne Remington. Alan and Wayne have known each other for a long time as Wayne was one of the people who influenced Alan to get into dental operating microscopes! In today's episode we discuss:
- How Wayne first became interested in dental microscopes
- How can a microscope prolong your dental career?
- How can you let a patient know how skilled you are without having to tell them?
- Dental microscopes and the ROI in dental hygiene
- Quality vs. Ergonomics...which is more important (spoiler...it's a tie!)
- Dental cinematography...is it a thing?
- Why buy multiple microscopes?
- Training on the microscope at Wayne's learning center
