Hospital dentistry

For the first two years out of dental school I did hospital dentistry.  I took patients to the operating room for their general dentistry needs.  I also saw patients in the emergency room.  This gave me a ton of dental experience in a short amount of time.  

I really enjoyed the patients, which ranged from the disabled adult with cerebral palsy to the average joe that neglected his teeth until it became life threatening.

Each presented with different challenges and seemed to be rejected from the traditional dental offices because if their unique dental needs.  They were also the most grateful when I was their only hope for getting better.  I derived a great deal of satisfaction from that work.  Now I still apply the medical knowledge I acquired from those two years working in the hospital as I treat much of the geriatric community in king city, Oregon near Bull Mountain.

I also apply a lot of the skills I picked up in residency as I worked along side many specialists including endodontists, oral surgeons, orthodontists, oral pathologists, pedodontists, prosthodontists, periodontists, and so on.

Many of the things I did in the hospital I can now do in my private practice in Tigard with IV sedation.
