Happy New Year – Highlights of 2024 – Part 1 – January to March

January 6, 2025

Last year I commented:

“With so much uncertainty in the world, with sicknesses lurking in the back ground, and enormous changes on the horizon, all we can do is be grateful for our families and friends.

2024 will be the year, I believe of getting out there, locally and overseas.

Seymour dental would like to thank all the patients who trusted us to come in and make their lives better. 

Happy teeth & mouth, happy life in 2024 and beyond.”

I also commented “Well, nothing changed, go figure!” I’m probably going to say that every year.

Happy Days for 2024

Light them up for a brilliant 2024

Then the highlights of 2023 filled the month. It always interesting to look back as these blogs have become a sort of diary thoughts and a bit of fun along the journey of life for Seymour Dental.

I Am Australian (excerpt: Song by The Seekers)

I came from the dream-time
From the dusty red-soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame…

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We’ll share a dream and sing with one voice
“I am, you are, we are Australian”

The month started with the further instalments of recap 2023.

Every year we spend a Friday morning 9am-2pm learning of the change in handling a medical emergency in a dental practice. This year we saw how technology is advancing. There are defibrillators with display that will show how hard the chest compressions are being applied as well as the electrical activity of the heart beat and pulse.

Medical Emergencies in the Dental Practice 2024 – Why CPR? – Part 2

The real reason for keeping the brain alive –

The brain needs to have activity so that IT can start the heart beating correctly.

The defibrillator shocks the heart from an abnormal electrical activity. This action stops any heart rhythm which causes feedback to the brain for it to restart the heart rhythm in a normal pattern.

Why CPR & Defibrillation? To keep the Brain Alive to Restart the Heart

That’s why avoiding four minutes without oxygen to the brain is important for survival. It’s the brain that restarts life and we do everything we can for this stimulus to occur from the brain. (An important side note, CPR is keeping the heart muscle alive as well via the coronary arteries).
