Never stop learning

It might be the time of year when we most commonly think of children going back to school, but I’m here to encourage you to take a moment to consider your education, too!

In your practice, staying on top of what’s happening in dentistry is critical – not just for patient care but also for the sake of your business. One compliance error regarding Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), for example, could result in OSHA fines up to $7,000 per day, per incident.

There are many options to round out your education, like continuing education, local dental groups, national tradeshows and more. But there’s one organization that provides a complete resource-in-one for your practice: The American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM).

Founded in 2005, AADOM has thousands of members from all over the country, and the world, who enjoy educational advancement opportunities, invaluable resources, including a members’ only question-and-answer forum, and relevant information to help them achieve the highest level of professional development.

And, thanks to the A Future to Smile About campaign, when your practice joins AADOM between now and January 31, 2016, you’ll not only be helping your team, you’ll be helping children in need of oral healthcare. For every new membership activated during that timeframe, Patterson Dental and AADOM will each donate $50 to Oral Health America’s Smiles Across America program, which partners with school districts across the U.S. to provide oral healthcare to underserved populations.

Take your education – and your philanthropy – to a whole new level. Join AADOM today through the A Future to Smile About campaign. Use the code OHA15 when signing up for a new membership!
