JOKES WITH PATIENTS?

Townies share the jokes and gags
that help them break the ice with
patients.

We compare and contrast the latest and greatest bulk-ﬁ ll
composites on the market, while Townie dentists give
shout-outs to their favorite products.

99 | BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT
Dr. James Nickman, president of the American Academy of
Pediatric Dentistry, discusses how in pediatric dentistry, "patient
management" often translates into "parent management."

106 | BOON OR BUST?

ADULT PULPOTOMY ...
THE SEAL IS THE DEAL

I HATE CLASS III
COMPOSITES

When full endo isn't an option,
what's next?

Dan Croft of TD Bank explains
the ﬁ nancial implications of
the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
on multipractice owners, and
what they need to do before they
consider taking a bite out of
their capital stash to grow their
practice in 2018.

This Townie is fed up and
frustrated! Luckily, dozens of his
peers weigh in with advice and
product recommendations to
make treatment more manageable.
