WHO IS A BOLD DENTAL PROFESSIONAL?

You are. By picking this book up, seeking new knowledge, being vulnerable to the idea that you don’t know it all, makes you bold. I have a hunch too, that because you’ve picked this book up, you are also an entrepreneur and if you don’t already, will soon have your own business someday.

Because you share similar passions of all entrepreneurs, you’ve decided to make your own way and impact the world for good, on your terms. That’s bold. That’s who I wrote this book for. I want you to be educated about the US Patent laws, the system, the process, and the inner workings of a for-some-reason-hidden/shrouded area of the law.

The field of “dentistry” was chosen on purpose for this book. I wanted to speak directly to an audience of professionals in oral health that aspire not solely to achieve goals of just getting rich, but to find solutions that truly help others. Your profession cannot be any more noble - you are helping people live better, healthier lives.

The term “bold”, as you can see above, distinguishes those that own their own dental-related business (or those that soon plan to). So, another title I'd like to give you is “entrepreneur”. How does that feel? Hopefully it gets you a little excited.

I know some of you might still be wondering, “is this book really for me?” here is a (non-comprehensive) list of all areas of dentistry that I want to reach in this book:

• Dentists
• Hygienists
• Assistants
• Office Managers
• Orthodontists
• Pediatric Dentists
• Endodontists
• Oral Surgeons
