Last Tuesday, for one day only, I was a bona fide lady what lunches. Philips were kind enough to invite myself and others from the dental world to enjoy the day at their corporate box at Wimbledon. It was a wonderful day, and of course the champagne, fantastic food, great tennis and lots and lots of polite, handsome young men in uniform were nice (really nice), but the most enjoyable thing was the good company it offered.
I had lunch with Ed Lynch and Ian Peace among others and am constantly impressed by how unassuming these leaders in their fields are. I still get a little star struck at Prof Lynch but he is such a charming, approachable man. There was no boasting, gossiping, back biting or talking over people, just a genuine joy at sharing information and having great discussion and debate; dental and non dental. They are going to be touring together with Philips bringing what I believe will be a "one not to miss" one day course for GDPs and Hygienists.
The day long meetings will include the following subjects:
- Top tips for quality clinical dentistry
- Faster, easier and better dentistry
- Minimally invasive dentistry for the 21st Century
- How to include prevention as part of every consultation
- Patient motivation
- Profitable prevention
- Interdental cleaning using technology in practice

I have also been trialling a caries detection machine for fissures and pits. This is a great machine and I will be reviewing it fully for Preventative Dentistry in the first of my series of product tests for hygienists. CariesScan Pro is well thought out and my patients are really interested in having this as part of their routine hygiene assessment and review.

And finally, on a totally non dental subject. My lovely sister turned 40 yesterday so I took her out to Windsor for Brunch and a day of pampering. I treated her with a new cut and colour, nails and eyebrows. A lot of champagne and cocktails and some amazing cakes from http://www.candycakes.com/ where the lovely man flirted outrageously with my sister too and made her day! I guess what I am saying is that at two out of seven days like this this week; maybe I am a lunching lady in the making.
Keep on keeping on
