Sitting here in Hendersonville I just read the governor vetoed the “ag gag” bill.
I’m not even really sure what it is about, but I know facebook in Nashville has been going crazy over it. I guess public opinion really can matter.

It has been a rough week for some dentists
Just read that another dentist who is also an oral surgeon on the west coast just had a patient die during wisdom teeth extraction.
Apparently the patient was given propofol during the procedure and something went bad. The patient later died at a hospital. This is so rare these days for someone to die during a wisdom tooth extraction, but I guess it is possible. As with most these cases like this, it was probably from the sedation more so than the actual surgery itself. Keeping the patients family in our prayers

Man in trouble in Oklahoma was not a practicing general dentist, but an Oral Surgeon. There is a big difference.
Just wanted to get a post out about the oral surgeon in Oklahoma.
It is important for everyone to know he was an Oral surgeon, which is quite different that a practicing general dentist. For the most part, us dentists and our teams do cleanings,fillings, root canals and crowns. Unlike oral surgeons who perform oral surgery all day with extractions, IV sedation, and more complicated surgerys. An oral surgeons office is basically a surgery center, much different from a normal office. Oral surgeons go through 4-5 more years of training and are specialist, and again very different from a regular dentist. I thought it was important for everyone to make that distinction, since some of the news channels are not.

22 degrees this morning in Hendersonville?
It is almost the April and it was 10 degrees below freezing this morning in Hendersonville according to my car thermometer.

I had shorts on last weekend, this weather is crazy. However, I do think the cold helps us to more fully appreciate the warm. Personally I cannot wait for summer. I just bought a new condo with a big pool, and I cannnot wait to use it. Have a great rest of the week.

We are Finishing up our 7th Dental Operatory Room at the big office!
So I finally gave in and am turning my personal office at the dental clinic into another treatment room.
This will give the Dentist side of the practice a 25% growth to do treatment without affecting the hygienist. I had been talking about doing it forever, but have just now gotten around to doing it. The contractor came in and pretty much did his part in a day. We got the equipment a couple of weeks ago. Everything is hooked up, and we are now just waiting on the cabinet and tv to go up. Ital will be nice to have the extra overflow room to better serve our dental patients. Have a great week.

Rest in Peace to our friend/former patient Mindy Mcready
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mindy Mcready
Such a sad event. I used to be pretty good friends with her 3 or 4 years ago. She always kind and nice to me.

Our heart goes out from hendersonville to those in Newton
Our hearts here in Hendersonville and Nashville, go out to those affected by the tragedy in Newton.
It is hard to understand how someone could do something like this, it is unthinkable. How someone could harm little children blows my mind. Our hearts go out to the parents that lost their children. I went to a funeral this weekend of a friend who lost his life in a car wreck last week. Someone I was just with 3 days before he died, and the pain on the face of his mother was unbearable. No parent should have to go through that. Life is so delicate. Please keep all those parents in your thoughts and prayers.
