THE NEW NORMAL REQUIRES DENTISTS TO BECOME MORE SUSTAINABLE

The Sustainable Dentist describes why and what the dental industry needs to do to become sustainable.

 

MONTEREY, California, JUNE 29, 2021—Sustainability practices across corporate America are anticipated to be on the rise in 2021. Sources like Engie Impact, a group formed to accelerate sustainability transformation, predicts the number one trend to be organizations confronting the scale of change to become sustainable. This trend is reflected in the new book titled The Sustainable Dentist – The New Normal by Beverly Oviedo-Allison and Marylou Shockley, PhD. The Sustainable Dentist touches on change management among many other environmental, economic, and policy-related issues required for a dental organization to adopt sustainable practices and procedures to successfully implement sustainability. 

 

As the year 2021 ushers in what many pundits call “green recovery” and the climate-focused Biden Administration implements new policies and regulations, dental organizations are being encouraged to join the revolution. The Sustainable Dentist defines and examines global sustainability while drilling down into the dental industry. It outlines historical perspectives and shares current intellectual capital on the subject, leadership mindset requirements, practice examples, techniques, and case studies designed to illustrate other dental organizations’ rollouts. Further, the book illustrates how the pandemic itself not only brought sustainability, health, and safety to the forefront of many dental industry professionals’ minds, but also shined a spotlight on the necessity to mitigate health risks by employing sustainable efforts.

 

Dr. Dave W. Chambers, professor and former Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Scholarship at

at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry - University of Pacific, writes in the book’s Foreword: “This is not a book about your saving the plan­et. There are no form letters to send to elected representatives or organizations to join or ad­dress groups that will accept your contributions. There is ample evidence that the world needs our help. Still, the intended readers are dentists – exquisitely trained to provide a range of oral health care and most likely get more satisfaction from doing this to a high standard than doing anything else they could think of doing. So, it is a book about being an environmentally friendly dentist, not an environmentalist.”

 

The Sustainable Dentist shares how dentists can be a part of the solution to something bigger than all of us

– a challenge facing humanity. As custodians of oral health who choose sustainability, dentists can take advan­tage of new business opportunities and move onto a larger stage to become leaders in global change, one practice at a time. Also, at this juncture in the global pandemic sustainability offers dentists a way forward to create what the book refers to as “Virus-Secure” zones so dentists expand their roles as custodians of oral health and safety while also becoming relevant participants in the community’s envi­ronmental and social well-being.

 

The Sustainable Dentist will be available exclusively in print on the 3L Publishing website, and in eBook versions on Amazon Kindle, Nook, and Apple Books. For more information, please contact (916) 300-8012 or send an email to info@3LPublishing.com.

Step-by-Step Building Sexual Tension Between Characters

-
We'll do a kind of mini-workshop on the blog to show you how to build sexual tension either in a book or script. Watch the two methods I employ between Brea and her love interest Drew. Read it below, and I will deconstruct it for you to show you the slow progression and build up. Please notice, I know the entire storyline between these two, so I'm working by making subtle gestures that only an informed audience would notice, which is why you need to know where your story is going and how you intend for it to end so you can build the foreshadowing into the story. I'm not suggesting you don't let some parts of the story organically evolve, but I do know that to build the story arc you need to the end game and character flaws and motivations. So, let me deconstruct that scene for you. Notice a lot of looks pass between them (keeping the focus on the eye-to-eye contact, which is one of the keys to building sexual tension). And mind you, nothing is sexier than a forbidden

In Loving Memory -- John Andrew Gamble, 1962-2011

I rarely discuss my private life on my blog, but I wanted to take a moment to pay tribute to my brother who passed unexpectedly sometime in July in Wasilla, Alaska . John was a true mountain man. He wasn't the least bit materialistic and never cared about worldly possessions. In the last 20 years after he moved to Alaska, I saw him three times, so we were not close; but I admire that he decided to live life his way up in the wilderness fishing for endless numbers of day. I always wondered how he seemed to never bore of it. He would catch so many salmon, he would live off fresh fish year round. He loved to cook, and I honestly have no idea why he got a degree in marketing from Sacramento State. Looking back on it, I think he would have made a terrific ranger. From an early age, he loved nature. He used to catch trout with his hands up at our family cabin. We would wander the forest together. When we were little, we spent sometimes two to three weeks up there, hiking around the w

Can I Pick Your Brain?

-
I am blogging about this in response to another blog I saw on the subject. I didn't completely read that author's total opinion, but I read enough to post a big, "You tell 'em sister!" In my line of work as a publisher and marketing specialist, I run into prospective clients who basically through the excuse of preliminary research, put my staff to work to put together proposals, get print quotes, ask endless advice, ask for multiple meetings, etc. -- all under the guise of "picking our brains" and potential business. While we've gotten better about discerning the difference between real business opportunities and those who make endless requests only to spend time drinking coffee with us and going nowhere fast ... except off to either another publisher with our materials (usually one that in their minds is less expensive) or to try and self-publish (again, using our materials). Whether people set out to deliberately use and run, isn't the point.
