FED UP CHALLENGE: Dental Care/Health Care

Dental Health
Written By Dr. Fletcher

Every morning, our office has what we call a "morning huddle." The entire staff is present and we discuss the day and review every patient that we are scheduled to treat. This simple exercise helps us recognize scheduling conflicts and gives us each the opportunity to collectively prepare for our patients and make certain we are all on board for providing the best care possible.

We use a powerpoint presentation to look through the schedule, discuss our calendar and I also use that time in the morning to educate the entire staff of new procedures and treatment I have completed.

During our FED UP CHALLENGE this past week, I have also used this time to encourage/educate the staff about the effect of sugar on diabetes and obesity. Last week's slides were really good and because we are trying to get this information out to our patients I wanted to share them with you here on the blog. I really hope they help.

It's not too late to join us if you would like! Let us know here in the comments or on Facebook or tweet to us on Twitter that you are FED UP and want to join the challenge!

Keep on smiling,
Dr. Fletch

Dr. Fletcher
Dr. Andrew Fletcher has been practicing dentistry since his graduation from the University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry in 1995. “Since I began my career, I have been blessed with two things: a great staff and a ton of great patients…throughout the years I have maintained one constant philosophy at my office: treat your patients very very well, and that is what I have tried to do for the past decade.” Although he began his career working with little mouths, Dr. Fletcher now treats the entire family. “I really enjoy working on different generations of the same family…it is easy to see dental trends throughout a family, but it is also a ton of fun to meet grandparents, parents and children.” In the last few years, the majority of Dr. Fletcher’s continuing education has come from studying dental implants and the challenge of giving teeth, smiles and functioning bites back to patients that are missing or have lost teeth. Each month he meets with several dentists and specialists in to treatment plan and discuss different techniques for dental restoration and rehabilitation.
