Welcome to Perio School, you have been chosen to join a dental revolution. Periodontics has the power to transform you from a dentist to a holistic healthcare professional.

You will become a dentist with a more rounded and grounded approach to treatment cases, which will not only help your patients but impress your dental colleagues just as much.

• Why Should I Pay For This Course?

It's not a one off webinar or a little topic that we go through for half an hour. It's a comprehensive course. It's a structured learning program where we'll be going through everything from diagnosis to treatment planning, to actual treatments and details of that treatment. You will learn more advanced skills such as crown lengthening.

So I just want to say, "you value what you pay for." I know from my point of view, whenever I've paid for something, I've taken it really seriously and followed through with the whole thing.

Also I wouldn't really see it as a cost. I'd see it as an investment, a cost is something which you pay for and, you know, it might not be so worthwhile whereas an investment is the opposite. It's something which will change you as a clinician, it will improve your patient care. So I would change your perspective on seeing, cost vs investment.

I've also made the purchasing decision really easy for you. I know it's a tricky time for everyone right now...

I wanted to support two big charities, one in Pakistan and one in India. Every sign-up is going to feed a family of four for four weeks. So, I mean, it's not a tricky decision right?!

• What About Aftercare/Support After The Course? 



During the course, and after the course, you're going to be part of a private Facebook group where we're going to be discussing everything through the course and answering any questions.

So don't worry. I will look after you post sign up. It's not just a course. There's a lot more to it than that. We named it Perio school for a reason. You don't just go into school and do one lesson and come home again. Right? It's a long term commitment. It's a journey.

You're going to be interacting with a community, not just learning from me, but learning from other delegates. Learning and networking from other people in the industry as well.

So, like a school basically!

• Why Should I Listen To You? 



Okay guys, I know I look about 12, but, I promise you I'm a little bit older.

On a more serious note, I'm a Specialist Periodontist and have been doing just perio for the best part of a decade now. So I know the subject inside-out.

I know how it is in practice. I work in a hospital as well, so I've got quite a well rounded view on our industry. I've written quite extensively on Periodontics - have been published in the BDJ & Dental Update.

With regards to teaching, I've got a formal teaching qualification and have been running courses for quite some time now. Hopefully I have methods of teaching, which will be interesting and effective, but if that's not enough, then hopefully by viewing my content online, I'll be able to convince you to join us. 

• Why would I need to go on an online course when we have textbooks?



Okay. Fair enough. Textbooks are great, but an online course is a completely different medium. It's going to be way more interesting, way more engaging. There's going to be lots of things like videos and step by step guides, downloadable resources, links, and so on. You are more likely to retain the information in an online video/audio format than by just reading a textbook.

• How will I transform as a clinician after this course?



Once you've completed this course, you're going to feel so confident with everything you do. For example, the new classification. I know it can be confusing right now and it feels like it's going to take forever to apply it in practice, but I promise you'll be able to apply it in 20 seconds.

You'll know exactly what the diagnostic statement is. You're going to be able to explain with clarity to your patients what Periodontitis actually is, using terms like open and closed pockets whilst explaining what is needed. You see their face just light up when they understand what you're saying to them and thus you'll get good patient compliance.

Right now you might be struggling with those patients coming in that aren't adhering to oral hygiene instructions. I will show you a few things you can do in the time you get in practice to really transform a patient and really transform a patient's motivation.

With treatment you'll know what improvements you should be expecting. Like for example, if you've got a seven millimeter pocket, do you know how much average improvement you should be expecting? We need to know those figures. You need to know what you can do on band one or band two on the NHS. What is allowed? What isn't allowed? When do you close off a course of treatment?

What about the BPE? When do you refer? Which BPE code you need to refer? What do you say to your patient? What are you allowed to say? What can you refer to the NHS? What about when you refer to private? What are the differences?

You'll know that the actual detailed steps of procedures such as crown lengthening and actually importantly understand the theory behind it.

A lot of people might be doing crown lengthening right now, but do they know what the biologic width is? Do they know the importance of respecting that? Do they know the right order of treatment?

You will become an all rounded, excellent Dentist, Hygienist or Therapist understanding Perio in so much depth and you will really start to enjoy it.
