About Fling Seminars

Fling Seminars was developed to meet a specific need in contemporary dental education. Having been involved as an educator since graduation from dental school in 1984, I developed a desire to target education with two specific goals in mind:

Seminar Inspiration

First: having a background as a dental technician, I am keenly aware of the need for the highest level of communication between the dentist and technician. The hierarchy that is prevalent in this relationship today is established to provide mediocrity. With today’s patient demanding aesthetic and predictable restorative care, it is the purposed interaction and dependency among the laboratory assistant, the technician, and the clinician, that will allow success. The responsibility of each of these team players is enormous, yet necessary if we choose excellence. Education that nurtures this relationship, concepts that improve communication, and management and technical expertise among these partners is paramount.

Educational Material

Secondly, educational material presented in an informative, stimulating, yet practical approach is critical. “Practical” is emphasized, as it is a goal to provide educational material that can be implemented routinely in our day to day practice. It should be noted that while education is a large component of my effort, much like you, I practice dentistry every Monday through Thursday. By applying the fundamental concepts presented in these seminars, aesthetics, predictability, profitability, staff, and patient satisfaction can all be improved in our everyday practice.
