[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nTarryn MacCarthy\, DMD\nDr. Tarryn MacCarthy is The Transformational Mindset and Happiness Coach for Dental Professionals. Host of The Business of Happiness Podcast\, she is an Orthodontist\, Author\, Keynote Speaker\, Dental Life Coach\, and Rapid Transformational Therapist. After only 7 years of clinical orthodontics and solo practice ownership\, Tarryn experienced a breakdown and severe clinical burnout. She fire-sold her practice\, fled the state\, and literally and figuratively ran from everything in her life. The one thing she couldn’t run from was herself. \nWhat followed was a journey of reclamation of the self she had disconnected from decades earlier. 5 years later she would go on to open a scratch-start practice and grow it to be the largest Invisalign practice in her state. After 23 years in clinical dentistry\, she now coaches other leaders on reconnecting to themselves to step into their true power. \nIn her unparalleled program\, “Radical Happiness”\, she teaches how to harness the power within. Using her expertise in neurolinguistic programming\, nervous system regulation\, and subconscious reprogramming\, Tarryn guides clinicians and leaders with the tools to rediscover their happiness in dentistry and life and to realize even greater success and empowerment than they ever imagined.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Cancellation/Refund Policy \nCancellations must be received in writing no later than Tuesday\, November 19\, 2024.

SUMMARY:The Tipping Point: When Hard Work Negatively Impacts Success
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Presented by Tarryn MacCarthy\, DMD \nAs high-achieving\, success-driven orthodontists we are no strangers to hard work. It is\, in fact\, what got us to where we are and to the excellence we promise to our patients. Hard work and perseverance do have a deleterious impact\, however\, when chronic sympathetic nervous system stimulation erodes our ability to access our prefrontal cortex. We lose our ability to make educated\, ingenuitive\, and compassionate decisions from an empowered perspective. Your overwhelm and stress are sirens from your nervous system that you are living in a sympathetic nervous system storm. You have stepped over the Tipping Point. At this point simply “pushing through” is the worst thing you can do. In this presentation\, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy will introduce the critical importance of Conscious Awareness and strengthening your Vagal Tone to recover from stress both in and out of the office. You will be introduced to The Empowered Mind Model\, an in-the-moment practice to reclaim your power over your own reactivity. Learn from Dr. MacCarthy’s expertise in positive psychology\, neurolinguistic programming\, hypnotherapeutic technique\, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and from her unique perspective after 20 years as an Orthodontist and Business Owner. Understand why YOUR HAPPINESS is the precursor to your success (and not the other way around). \nLearning Objectives: \nDiscover the difference between a reaction and a response\nLearn how to choose how you respond to ANY event\, comment\, patient reaction\, team member\, circumstance\, or stimulus\nUnderstand why YOUR HAPPINESS is the precursor to your success (and not the other way around) \nDate: Wednesday\, September 20\, 2023 \nTime: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM\, CENTRAL \nLocation: Live Webinar via Zoom \nCE Credit: 2 hours \nCancellation Deadline: Tuesday\, September 19\, 2023 \nRegistration Price: $40 for SWSPD Members / $90 for Non-Members[/vc_column_text]Click here to sign up for the meeting!

Overall\, this age group has escaped the severe manifestations and outcomes of COVID-19 infection; however\, there is no detour around the multiple and potentially toxic stressors experienced during the pandemic. This course will explore the latest oral findings associated with COVID-19 infection\, including long-haul COVID\, and discuss what other diseases that they mimic in youth. It will also focus on a wide range of stress-induced and other common oral conditions that children are experiencing\, along with the best management approaches. A wide variety of new lesions\, the latest updates on common entities\, and evidence-based treatments will round out the discussion. A case-based format will illustrate consults from pediatric dentists during this challenging time when access to care was restricted. Course participants are encouraged to submit examples of oral and facial lesions that they have detected for an interactive and practical conversation. \nObjectives\n\nReview the oral manifestations of COVID-19 infection and its sequelae in children.\nDiagnose a variety of common oral lesions in children that dentists detected during the pandemic.\nSelect the best management approaches for the child-patient.\n\nDr. Flaitz is interim chair and clinical professor\, Division of Diagnostic Sciences\, The University of Colorado Anschutz School of Dental Medicine\, and adjunct professor\, Division of Pediatric Dentistry\, The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
