Dental CE Course: Turn Your Practice into a Wellness Center Add a medical dimension to your practice and revolutionize your dentistry

Dentists know the connection between oral health and overall health. Dental practices can, and should,
add new diagnostic tools and treatments to support the general health of patients. This can increase
treatment acceptance, generate physician referrals, add new production and increase profits – and your
practice can bill to medical insurance.
At this seminar, practice management expert Christine Taxin will show how adding a medical dimension
to your practice affects claims processing. Do you know how the new Healthcare Reform Act will affect
your dental practice? Are you ready for electronic billing and charting? Join us on January 25 or March
28 as Christine guides you through an effortless transition.
