highlight A definite
Speakers Paul Tipton and Ashley Latter provided
some of the highlights of last year’s Scottish Dental Show. Here, they explain why they are coming back
W
ith the Scot- tish Dental Show (ı6 and ı7 May) just weeks away,
we spoke to two of last year’s most popular speakers about why they have decided to return. Paul Tipton will be opening the
show in the Hampden Park Audito- rium with his keynote presentation ‘The role of vertical dimension in facial aesthetics’ on Thursday ı6 May and he will also be first up on the second day of the show with a talk entitled ‘Maximising the fit, aesthetics and maintenance in full arch bridgework placed on implants’. The ‘Selling Coach’ Ashley Latter
will also be speaking on both days in the Auditorium with two brand new talks written especially for the Scottish event.
What are your thoughts about appearing at the
Scottish Dental Show 2013? Paul Tipton (PT): I am really looking forward to attending the Scottish Dental Show. The show last year was a great success, more than ı,200 attendees, I believe. Being the only show of its kind north of the border, it’s a great opportunity to catch up with friends and colleagues that I do not get to see very often. Ashley Latter (AL): I am very excited. Last year was a great confer- ence. It was well organised and well attended and the audiences were very appreciative about my talks.
I presented twice last year and on both occasions, the room was full. It was an incredible experience
and a definite highlight of 20ı2 for me. I have so many clients who I have worked with in Scotland over the past ı8 years, I really feel part of the Scottish dental community.
Your talks were very
popular last year, how did you find the experience at Hampden? PT: Hampden provided a great venue for the show last year. As both an exhibitor and speaker, I was able to benefit from both aspects of the show. AL: The experience was magical. I had never been to Hampden before and, being a big football fan, it was an incredible experience, even though the stadium was empty. It really is a great venue, and everyone was so friendly.
How do Scottish
audiences differ to others around the UK and elsewhere? PT: To be honest, dentistry is dentistry, wherever in the world you teach it. I lecture regularly in Scot- land, Ireland and England and don’t find there to be much difference in the audiences. AL: I remember on one of my talks there were around a dozen staff from one practice who gave me a big cheer at the start and at the end of my talk. That was very nice, that does not happen very often! I find the Scottish dentists and their teams very appreciative about

last year” Paul Tipton
the work I do. I am now coming to Scotland around a dozen times a year to run my courses, the people in Scotland are some of the friendliest and most appreciative people in the UK. I love coming to Scotland and I have a lot of friends here, espe- cially in Glasgow. I have had a few nights out in Glasgow and the city never disappoints.
Tell us a little bit about the talks you are going to be presenting and why people should come along to see them. PT: In dentistry today, some of the concepts underpinning successful dentistry are often ignored. In
