Dental school is four years in duration, but most forward-looking dentists realize that their formal professional education is only the beginning of their education. For example, Dr. Denise regularly participates in dental study clubs, seminars, and professional meetings to keep up with the latest advances in the dental profession.

Scientific advances are occurring at a very rapid rate. These advances affect dental radiology, diagnosis, microbiology, and dental materials. To stay abreast of all these changes, Dr. Denise is very active in continuing dental education courses.

In addition, members of his team also regularly attend continuing education courses. The goal is for all members of the team to be aware of new trends in dentistry and also to have the opportunity to talk to colleagues about changes in the dental profession that benefit patients.
