Dr. Bradley Lander, an award-winning Chicago-based, Board Certified Periodontist and dental implant surgeon joins Enterprise Fit Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Bradley Lander discuss the following:



* So that our listeners can get to know you, can you please introduce yourself and talk a bit about your background?

* You started as a dentist in London and then did your residency at UPenn.  What was different about your dental education between the U.K. and the United States?

* You have been published worldwide, worked on studies with the National Institutes of Health, and won major international awards.  These are significant accomplishments for anyone, much less a Periodontist of your age and background.  Can you tell our listeners what this feels like and how you intend to expand your leadership?

* Most people don’t understand just how important it is to research and understand the long-term effects of changes in ones mouth to the rest of their body.  Can you please discuss this so our listeners understand that dental health isn’t just about looking good or having perfect teeth.

* Now that we’ve addressed the cosmetic side of dentistry, let’s take a few moments and look at the functional side, which includes implants.  My understanding, and I am not a dentist or periodontist, of course, is that in the United States you don’t need a specific amount of training to place implants.  When I recently learned this, I was shocked.  Can you discuss your feelings about this based on your experience in the industry?
