Being able to admit as a licensed professional that you don’t know everything is hard. It’s especially hard when you’ve been seeing the same patients for many years. Once you expand and open your mind to learn new concepts to bring better care to patients it becomes a conversation of well “this is what I know now” it feels like your turning everything you know and how you’ve been practicing upside down. But learning only leads to better outcomes for patients. I am fortunate to work as a hygienist and Myofunctional therapist (OMT of Kentucky- Myofunctional Therapy for Everyone ) along side Dr Rachel Gold Rachel E. Gold, DMD who has and is putting in the work to bring whole patient centered care to her office. Ask colleagues who are learning about airway dentistry how it’s changed their thinking on patient care. It may just surprise you and how you start looking at your patients!
