SIX HOURS STRUCTURED CPD (including 3 hours of CORE)

Who:

Stephen Murray, who has delivered his photography workshops in Ireland and UK, lectured to IDA national and metro meetings on the topic.

How to book:

Call or email us at Swords Orthodontics for more details and to book. We are limiting the numbers on this to ensure everyone gets personal attention in the work shop.

We applied to the Dental Council to get this approved as Verifiable CPD. It's early in the year, so you might not have got your leaflet from them about the changes to CPD in Ireland - this course is now designated as STRUCTURED CPD (as opposed to self-directed). It combines CORE CPD (as photography is a medical record) and HANDS-ON CPD as this is a practical workshop as well. HANDS ON CPD counts for extra hours of CPD than a simple lecture, so if you attend, we'll certify you for 6 HOURS of STRUCTURED CPD (3 of CORE, and 3 Hands On). We're happy to discuss any of the compliance with the requirements with anyone interested in attending.

(*Blood, sweat and tears not actually guaranteed.)

After a busy day of orthodontic treatments, I was in the practice one evening doing some treatment planning for the patients that would be coming in later that week and the phone rang with Prof Stassen’s name on the screen.

As he does the jaw surgery and other special procedures for my patients that need them, I’d always take the call when I get it because it usually means something needs to be discussed in detail and I’ll have to make special appointments and the quicker I know what I have to do the quicker I can help my patients. In this case it was “remember ...

Orthodontics and Mouth Cancer 2025 Part 2...Our Experience at Swords Ortho

I have blogged about mouth cancer before. We had mouth cancer screening days in the practice, there was a national mouth cancer awareness day.

It’s not one of the more famous ones, there isn’t a national campaign where we wear a ribbon or a flower or have a coffee morning at work for it, but it’s certainly there in the background messing around with people’s lives. Before I was an orthodontist I used to work at the junior levels of various oral surgery departments around Northern Ireland and England and saw many patients receive treatment for it. Those patients were referred to us from one source ...

Orthodontics and Mouth Cancer 2025 Part 1...Examinations

It’s a given fact among orthodontists that every child should have an orthodontic examination by the age of 7. This is to look for healthy development of teeth, their positions in the developing mouth and the way they relate to each other. Some problems might be obvious  but some are lurking unseen by parents - and the kids themselves - and require someone with an appropriate mix of experience and knowledge to detect or investigate.

Why bother so young?

The idea is that if you detect certain problems there are simple interventions (we’d call that interceptive orthodontic treatment) that might avoid a more serious problem developing, one ...
