Waking up on the Wrong Side of the Bed
Chris Scappatura
This energetic presentation will have you laughing at this familiar expression and learning how to
overcome this feeling or state-of-mind. How often have you heard someone say, “Did you get out of
bed on the wrong side” or maybe you have said it to a friend or your spouse. We will examine topics
that affect this state-of-mind such as sleep, relationships, diet, and exercise. Chris offers up some life
changing suggestions that are child’s play, that can be implemented immediately to help you improve
your life and maybe the lives of those around. Come learn how to get out of bed on the right side even
if it’s the middle of the day.
Limited Attendance
10:00am–4:00pm
Technique Advantage:
Strategy for Value Based Prosthetics
There is no longer the need to fabricate “false teeth” with
artificially designed denture teeth. We can now confidently
replace the original dentition of the fully or partially edentulous
patient with a natural “Bio-Logical” prosthesis. This course is
designed to introduce and instruct dentists and technicians to the
philosophy and technique of a neuromuscular guided denture.
You will be introduced to the only denture teeth on the market
to support this concept.
