Dr Bill is currently running three courses for 2008. For more information please contact us.

There is a group of patients that may well be neglected in your practice. In discussion with colleagues some answer that they have no such patients, so no neglect. This may be your answer too but the question is not do you have such patients for you surely do, rather the question is how could you recognise and treat them? Offering a greater service to your patients and a potential increase in your income from your existing patient base!

This weekend seminar is aimed at recognising the neglected patient, forming a diagnostic opinion and treatment plan. It will show you how and when to refer and who to. It will show you a more complete treatment based on the desire to treat the whole patient rather than just service the needs of the mouth. It will show you how this can build your practice’s popularity and increase its turnover!

The next course is running on March 7th and 8th in Salzburg. Click here for more details.

When my Dad retired as a GMP some 25 years ago, I asked him what he was going to do with the knowledge that he had acquired in all his years in practice. He wasn’t sure and in the end he didn’t do anything. What a shame not to share the experience of a lifetimes work with younger professionals eager for tips that could make a difference.
Well here I am thirty years in practice with the same dilemma. Do I “die with the song still in me” or share what I have gleaned from these thirty years?

I have run a practice with a heavy emphasis on head, neck and back pain of dental origin. During this time of helping people with a myriad of problems, I have found things that work and things that don’t. I have gone from simple to complex to simple. In the end I have discovered what works for me in a good percentage of cases and I would like to present this to my colleagues.

It is frustrating to know that there is a group of people out there that we can help who for the most part are getting little help at all. A woman who has suffered head pain for 20 years has relief. Michael who experienced facial pain for six years before coming to see me, had various consultant appointments with no result, got relief in a couple of visits. Kay with neck pain for most of her adult life gained relief from a specially made denture. It’s not rocket science but these people come into your surgeries too.

I have been fortunate enough to travel the world in the last 5 years or so talking to the general public about health issues. It has saddened me to realise that while I can talk about head, neck and back pain of dental origin, I can’t treat them all and there are too few dentists equipped to deal with this.

I would like to see this change. I would like to see this treatment approach adopted as part of every dental practitioner’s service to his/her patients.

I would like to share what I know, give some pointers, direction, focus and fun so that you can help the group of people within your practice with the very real problems that face them.

It will help you, your practice and your bank account and above all your patients. It will increase the good will of your practice and word of mouth referrals.

Come and join me for a weekend on “A Way of Dentistry” .

In A Way of Dentistry we will cover the following:

This will be carried out in conjunction with public meetings that I will be running in your area.

“In sickness and in health” - this meeting will be an information evening for the general public, looking at just what dentistry can offer them. It is my hope that you will join us at this meeting, as once we have done the weekend course we will be in a position to advertise you and your practice as one of those that these people are looking for!

Quote from the evening:

“Looking at the researchers gives us some clues as to the direction that we can take on the journey to health. This includes the role of dentistry, Dr Sally Cram, DDS spokeswoman for the American Dental Association made the following statement:

“We can no longer think of the mouth as not part of the overall body, because so much that goes on in the mouth can affect the overall health in the body.”

With the American Dental Association changing its views, perhaps it is time that we the general public rethink our opinions too!”

This information is of crucial importance to those looking to work together for the good of the patient. The evening will cover the following important issues:

For too long we have treated people from our own standpoint, our own profession. Many of us have jealously guarded our patients with the result that they only get partially better. Together we will explore the work that links us all, through the oral complex and the cervical spine. Together we may realise that it is often better to refer than to treat and to treat only when it ours to do so. Is there overlap? Will more than one profession treat at a time? Will success rates increase? Of course!

Dr Bill Kellner-Read BDS is a “Structural dentist”. He runs practices in the UK and Austria, dedicated to treating the whole body. While he takes into account, chemical toxicity, nutrition and emotion he firstly looks at structure. If there is a structural problem then he goes about fixing it with other professionals. He is a great believer in the TEAM approach — Together Everyone Achieves More.

“When I was first introduced to the world of TMJ, I thought that I was God’s gift to dentistry but with success came failure. I didn’t have all the answers, I couldn’t help everyone, I wasn’t an Island. At first I worked with Physiotherapists. Then Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Kinesiologists, Naturopaths, Environmental Doctors; Podiatrists and various body workers. Success came when I embraced the TEAM approach. What I wanted to know was why? Why did it work and how could we all accept working together? What was the common ground? I believe the common ground is The Pivotal Point.”

Who should come?:

Doctors, Dentists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, Kinesiologists, Naturopaths, Podiatrists... in fact all Body Workers!
