Scottish Dental Show 2013
“I am going to share with the audience what some of the best practices I work
with are doing” Ashley Latter
Appealing to the
whole team Scottish Dental Show scientifi c chairman Kevin Lochhead has been talking about the event’s lecture programme in a new video interview.
Kevin said: “We have been trying to bring together a programme that is going to appeal
to everyone in the dental team –
not just the dentists, which is classically how most conferences are run.
“I think that the Scottish Dental Show is a fabu- lous opportunity to get every member of the team together, and hopefully we have a programme that will appeal to absolutely everyone.

my lectures, I often talk about the importance of occlusion in reducing failures and ensuring longevity of restorations. This year I will be covering two
topics, the fi rst will discuss how excessive wear on teeth can lead to not only loss of tooth tissue, but also a loss in facial height with accompa- nying reduction of facial aesthetics. I will use several case studies to demonstrate improvements in the occlusion and facial aesthetics. My second presentation will focus on maximising the fi t, aesthetics and maintenance in full arch bridgework placed on implants. AL: I am delivering two brand new presentations. The fi rst one is called ‘Same again or are you up for a Big Change in 20ı3?’ In short, the presentation is all about that if you want different results, doing what you have always done won’t get you there. Many people live in a comfort
zone, carrying on doing what is comfortable and expecting to get different results. It just does not happen. I am going to share with the audience what some of the best practices I work with are doing. Some of these ideas are very
innovative and different. This pres- entation is not for everyone, it is for dentists and their teams who are looking for a new idea to improve what they do. They are looking for the ı per cent to get better. My second presentation is all

about talking money. It is called ‘Talk money with confi dence and achieve the prices your services deserve’. After training more than 6,000 dentists and their teams over the last ı8 years on my ‘Ethical Sales and Communication’ courses, I fi nd many dentists get hung up on talking money and many of them seriously undercharge for what they do. I am currently writing a book on this subject and I am going to share many strategies that will change their thinking and their mind set. Both programmes are suitable to the whole team and they are both new presentations, with lots of new ideas.
Do you have anything else planned around your visit to Scotland? Work or pleasure? PT: Yes, I will be going up to Crieff to review everything prior to the start of my new restorative dentistry course, which is starting shortly. AL: I am working the three days beforehand in Glasgow and then straight to the Scottish Dental Show. I will be out on a couple of occasions with clients and I will be attending the awards ceremony as well. So I am going to be crazy busy.
We also have an exhibition stand
this year. I might need a few days off to recover after! But I can’t wait.

“The actual programme that we have compiled is very, very good and we have got some high-quality CPD. Classically you tend to fi nd that to get the CPD that we need and that we are all obligated to achieve, we have to travel down south, which costs a lot of money and time out of the practice. “With the Scottish Dental Show, clinicians from all over Scotland can gather in one place and get some fabulous CPD from some world-class speakers.”
