@djwils09 CE courses, practicing on typodont, avoiding injuries via extreme sports i.e. bull riding

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@sofunkeeee notes are tedious, but horror stories regarding litigations should make us want to include as many details as possible

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@johncabrahamson you're #prob right. Not only is it unprofessional, but patients will lose trust in someone who tends to criticize others

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@bmainhardt41 true. Afterall, the patient is not tied down -- they elected to come see us and it's their body

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@VDixonULSD exactly. Another professional should never be quick to judge without the full story

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

Autonomy comes with responsibility --an autonomous dentist is expected to keep their knowledge and skills fresh as a daisy #dentpractprobs

[Valerie Weber @ValerieHWeber]

@AndrewULSD @bmainhardt41 Grand Big Mac=860 calories lol

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@bmainhardt41 avoiding triple cheeseburgers is also an important step

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@DillonCReed13 I don't think so. If someone really wants to improve their oral health, they will find the time

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@brendenlsmith I do. And in some cases I'm not sure it's false

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@ParkerHaycock find a way to instill a sense of purpose and inclusion in low SE communities to give them optimism and drive

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@sofunkeeee health and wellbeing comes down to the individual. Those who are well -off can only do so much in terms of turning this around

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@ALoraldental_08 it's not the lower class's fault. The system doesn't do the middle class many favors at the moment

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@shinan_guo inclusion and purpose. Once people believe they are wanted/needed they will better themselves

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@Doc_JBlandIII I think it begins with mental health and a sense of purpose. We need to make communities want to get better

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@TrevorBybee more government help. Particularly regarding debt from education

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@shinan_guo agreed. Early education/intervention is key to good health and longevity

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@Giovanni2482 high income usually means high stress as well. Could play a role in diminishing health status

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@juleshneyd I've no doubt Medicaid is a factor, but there are many variables to consider over that span

[Andrew McCormick @AndrewULSD]

@r2thekesh any idea on how a warm vs cold climate affects exercise and therefore health of low SE folks?
