COVID-19 Resources for OMS Practices

April 18, 2020 By Gayle Davies

Please see summaries and links that have been recently added to the AAOMS COVID-19 Resources. See also links to the infections control webinar and Telehealth page.


The Health Care Group – publisher of some AAOMS practice management publications – has teamed up with Health Care Law Associates to develop a summary of significant COVID-19 legal developments related to OMS practices. COVID-19 Resource for OMS Practice Owners, Associates and Managers (pdf) is being offered at no cost to AAOMS members. The guide covers mandated paid time off, paycheck protection program under the CARES Act, benefit plans relief and the CMS accelerated and advance payments program.


The SBA Webinars are now available:

  • Free webinar: Financial Steps to Take Now to Overcome a COVID-19 Business Downturn
  • Free webinar: What the CARES Act means to you

 The Infection Control Webinar also remains active:

  • Coronavirus: What Dental Professionals Need to Know and Do

Updated Telehealth Resources At-a-Glance

  • With the COVID-19 outbreak, CMS and states are working to eliminate barriers to telehealth use – including telephone or “virtual” evaluations and/or treatment advice – to help patients access care remotely and reduce the strain on hospitals and clinics. AAOMS has assembled a new webpage – Telehealth Resources – with details and links that will be updated when new information becomes available. In addition, AAOMS published AAOMS White Paper: Telehealth and Remote Treatment in January (pdf).

2019 Summer Meeting Recap

September 11, 2019 By Gayle Davies

Amelia Island is always a welcoming location for our FSOMS Summer Meeting and this year was no exception. The weather and the ocean are certainly an incentive to attend this meeting along with our great scientific programs.

We started Thursday and Friday with required courses of “ACLS/BLS” and “Advanced Airway Complications & Management for the OMS and OMS Office Emergencies – Simulation Course.”

Our welcome reception gathered on Friday night retreated from an early evening rainstorm, but we had festive attire from Drs. Mufson and Blumberg and Speaker, Dr. Andrew Herlich.

On Saturday and Sunday morning, Dr. Andrew Herlich conducted his session on “Pediatric Office-based Emergencies and Newer Developments in Pediatric Anesthesia.”

We held our FSOMS Board meeting and welcomed new members Drs. Christopher Kuhns, Samuel Landrian, Juan Samaniego, Jason Sheikh, Bradley Pinker, Matthew Rossen, Ludmils Antonos and John Mazzuoccolo.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

To the Members of the Florida Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons:

Due to unfortunate circumstances affecting Dr. Anthony Sclar and his family, he will not
be able to attend and be the featured speaker at the Florida Society of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgeons Annual Meeting, held this year in collaboration with Osteo Science
Foundation, at the Breakers in West Palm Beach.

Fortunately, Daniel B. Spagnoli, DDS, PhD, has agreed to step in as the Keynote
Speaker at this meeting. Dr. Spagnoli is well known to this association, as well as
surgeons throughout the country and internationally. Dr. Spagnoli has lectured
extensively on regenerative/bone and soft tissue grafting techniques and reconstruction
and rehabilitation of extremely complex implant patients. He has developed cutting edge
technology that integrates the latest computer virtual planning with the most advanced
reconstructive techniques. He has lectured extensively throughout the country and
internationally and published extensively in this area, introducing many completely new
and innovative techniques enhancing patient outcomes.

On behalf of Dr. Gesek and the FSOMS, as well as the Board and staff of Osteo Science
Foundation, we are proud to have Dr. Spagnoli as our featured speaker this year, and
hope that you will join us as we welcome him at this meeting.

Sincerely,

Myron R. Tucker, DDS
Science and Education Liaison, Osteo Science Foundation

Dental Anesthesiology Recognized As Dental Specialty

March 13, 2019 By Gayle Davies

ADA has announced that dental anesthesiology has become “the 10th dental specialty recognized by the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards.” On March 11, the National Commission “adopted a resolution based on an application from the American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists to recognize dental anesthesiology as a dental specialty.”

Dr. James Tom, president of the American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists, said, “This historic vote by the National Commission certainly reflects the ADA’s ongoing efforts towards improved patient care and safety in the areas of dental sedation, dental anesthesiology and access for those with special health care needs.”

In addition to dental anesthesiology, other recognized dental specialties include dental public health, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial pathology, oral and maxillofacial radiology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, and prosthodontics.
