Get Off the Dental Treadmill Podcast: Great Dentistry by Dentists Who Lead


Feb 9, 2024

Dr. William Moorehead is with us today to talk about adding IV moderate sedation to your practice, and how it can improve your productivity and bottom line. IV moderate sedation is used in only a small percentages of dental practices, and Dr. Moorehead sees the success those practices are having because of it. Think about how many people avoid going to the dentist becuase of their fears. What if you added the option of IV moderate sedation to your practice, to help ease these patients fears? Your practice could really thrive because of this option!

 

Dr. Moorhead has practiced family and sedation dentistry in Flemingsburg, Kentucky for over 30 years. He has served as President of the Blue Grass Dental Society in Lexington, Kentucky, and President of the Kentucky Dental Association.

Dr. Moorhead has received Fellowships from the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, the Pierre Fauchard Academy, the International College of Dentists and the American College of Dentists. He is a member of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, American Dental Association, Kentucky Dental Association and the Blue Grass Dental Society.

Dr. Moorhead has been developing systems to overcome the challenging issues of staff absenteeism, turnover, lack of quick and adequate training, and high overhead, and has thoroughly documented these systems for other dentists to use.  In some circles, he is known as Dr. Checklist.  He speaks on topics related to clinical efficiency, dental anesthesia and sedation, dental technology, medical emergencies, and leadership.  He also co-teaches a 90 hour course on moderate IV sedation.
