With the COVID-19 pandemic in the rearview mirror, the practice of dentistry has somewhat returned to established norms, in-person education and other opportunities are getting back up to speed, and it's hard to believe that the holiday season is already here and another year is coming to an end. For many, this is a time for family and reflection about our lives. For Inside Dentistry, this is a time for reflection about the past year of the profession with our annual trends in dentistry issue.
Be sure to check out this month's cover story, Trends in Dentistry 2022, to learn more about the trends in technology as well as those on the business side of dentistry and in clinical practice. Using this information to benchmark your practice can be useful to see where you fit into the bigger picture of the profession and to help you identify potential areas to evolve and grow. However, it is important to keep in mind that what is right for another dentist's practice may not be right for yours and that just because something's on trend doesn't necessarily mean that it will improve your outcomes or your profitability. Be inspired but remember that you do you!
