From mildly relaxed to
"I thought I was asleep"
You can be as relaxed as you wish.
This is only an example or partial list of studies to improve your care. I haven't listed the courses lately but there is an extensive list of several hundred more hours. There are many discussion, journals, papers, products, use of the internet, tapes and videos that are used to gather information. The minimum requirements of 40 hours of continuing education in 2 years for the Mississippi Dental Association and 75 for 3 years in the Academy of General Dentistry are just a drop in the bucket for the number of hours Dr. O'Keefe accumulates. Dentistry is a great profession. Learning is a joy. A massive effort is absolutely necessary to try and stay current with all the improvement. We believe that every person that works in this office is a continual student, always trying to learn the best and newest methods.
