March 21 - 27, 2018 www.TheTownCommon.com Page Health & Wellness By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD No matter what you do for a living, the most important key to success is to be principled. Those who follow indisputable and grounded principles are much more likely to achieve successful outcomes and realize satisfaction from a job well done. However, change is inevitable. And, change is not always easy. Let me use dentistry as an example, since this is what I know best. Technology and techniques in dentistry change. Some dentists jump on the bandwagon right away with every new gadget. Sometimes it’s hard to resist because there are so many cool things available. There are others who are late adopters. Dental technology and techniques may change, but principles don’t. Principles are based upon a sound foundation of trying to do what’s right and what’s fair. Incorporating innovations in the practice of dentistry enables a dentist to be successful and simultaneously remain principled. For example, a couple of years ago I invested in a piece of equipment How can you keep from falling prey to online scammers? It’s getting more difficult every day. Here are a few steps to stay safe: * Step one is to slow down. Use bookmarks for the sites you regularly visit. That will keep you from accidentally typing in the wrong name in a rush. Type in even one letter wrong, and it may send you to a fake site that looks identical to the one you want to visit. Once there, you might be Brighter Smiles... that I had resisted for a long time. I was unsure of the amount I would be able to use it and continue to stick with my principles. Today, I can’t imagine practicing without it. It has made me a better, more conservative dentist. However, I have seen and been on the other side as well, where there is a sense of urgency to “buy” the technology in order to just have it without completely understanding the relevance. This can lead to technology ending up as a coat rack and a relatively wasted investment. For others, change might be difficult. It is easy to get bogged down with tradition. That can be good and that can be bad. Sometime the best solutions we have are tried and true. However, it is important to keep an open mind. If a new technology or technique is scientifically tested and the dentist feels it improves the core foundation of grounded principles they use to treat their patients, they almost have an obligation to adopt it. Other than having a firm set of principles, another key to success is learning people skills. Interacting with people can sometimes be tricky. Everyone has their own set of “issues”, and everyone has their good days and their bad days. We don’t have to like everyone we come in contact with, but learning how willing to sign in because you think you’re in the right place. It’s called typo-squatting, and scammers actually register domain names that are spelled incorrectly because they know there are common misspellings. Even big names like Google, Apple and Microsoft have been hit with typo-squatting. Only do banking online if you’re very sure of the safety. (Better idea: Don’t do online banking.) * Have a long password, at least eight characters, and be sure to have symbols and numbers in it for any site where you need to sign in. * Beware putting your creditcard number on an online retail site. (Better idea: Call in your Forging Forward Senior Scene Danger Lurks on the Internet to deal with all kinds of people is a valuable skill. When it comes down to it, this brings us back to our core set of principles. If we center our conversations around our principles and people see our interactions are genuine, trust and friendships can be made.

It is important to become dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, no matter what you do, and to seek out the expertise and knowledge of others. Your principles will guide you through whatever lies ahead, and your flexibility will enable you to handle whatever the future holds, which is something nobody knows for sure. Perseverance, one of my favorite words, is defined as, “steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.” Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered family dentistry.

Talk to a person.) * If you’re on a social site, don’t upload photos unless you know for certain that the location information has been stripped from them. Use a fun screen name that isn’t your own name. Never announce that you’ll be away on vacation. That would sound like an invitation to a scammer who can figure out where you live. (It’s not difficult.) * Keep the grandchildren off your computer unless you have a child safety program running, such as CyberSitter. (Better idea: Have computer games they can play, but turn off the Internet.) * Keep your privacy settings on high. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
