The Power of the Tongue Part 3

10.03.17 | by Chris Catalano Comment

In this third segment I want to discuss being tongue tied. We are all familiar with the fact that being tongue tied means the patient has a soft tissue connection to the floor of the mouth with a strong fibrous connection. This limits the movement of the tongue, and prevents all the natural tongue placement we discussed in the first 2 segments. I recently Read More

The Power of the Tongue Part 2

Click here for The Power of the Tongue Part 1 In the last video we talked about normal healthy tongue activity. In this video let's look at tongue thrust, the first of the abnormal tongue movements. A tongue thrust, and there are many variations is an abnormal amount of anterior tongue movement. This can result in a narrowed dental arch and the classic Read More

The Power of the Tongue Part 1

08.28.17 | by Chris Catalano 2 Comments

Recently I have gotten very interested in learning about the tongue. I have been spending time with a myofunctional therapist, and amazed by the role a healthy tongue and tongue function plays in airway, TMD and maintaining tooth position and arch form. In this first part of a series of the tongue I want to look at normal tongue function. Click here for Read More

Diashine Polish Kit

07.28.17 | by Chris Catalano Comment

Diashine has been my go to polishing kit for extra-oral uses so I was excited when they came out with their polishers for a latch handpiece and to be used intraorally. The Hornbrook kit is designed for all of the materials and uses that I have in my practice. Whether I am polishing e.max, empress or natural teeth I get perfect surface texture and luster Read More

Have Fun!

06.23.17 | by Chris Catalano 1 Comment

Having fun at work is not only possible but probable. I don't mean throwing a party or bringing in lunch. Are you having fun when you are practicing dentistry, performing procedures and being with patients? What "Fun" looks like is different for each of us based on our personalities and preferences. Whatever that look  like for you, I think of it as Read More

New Patient Monitor

06.02.17 | by Chris Catalano 1 Comment

I wanted to share a system we use in my office I call "New Patient Monitor". It is a way once a month that I can review the new patients that came in and where they stand.  For me it is a good reflective analysis so that I can get better at what I do. Who Referred them Treatment Recommended Who Accepted Treatment Who Is Scheduled Read More

Chlorhexidine Scrub

05.16.17 | by Chris Catalano Comment

Have you ever seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"? If so you remember that the father of the bride used Windex to clean everything. In my world I use Chlorhexidine prep scrub, specifically Consepsis from Ultradent, to clean every prep. If you are looking for better impressions or better bonding, this is a key step in the process.

Daring Greatly

05.05.17 | by Chris Catalano Comment

A few years ago I heard Dr. Brene' Brown At the AACD meeting in Seattle. Her book Daring Greatly is about the paradoxes of courage, and how to be strong we have to embrace our vulnerability. This can be so difficult for dentists who seem to carry a similar personality trait of striving for perfect. Perfectionism can be a key to success, but it can also be Read More
