"Do we see and then believe or do we believe and then we see? The truth is it is both. But the ultimate truth is if we can't see then we can't do it.... Most dentists don't need more patients, they need to see more of what is right before their eyes: the patient's dental condition. The single most significant measure a dentist can do for their practice in these challenging economic times is to see what is right in front of them.... Magnification is illuminating. The microscope brings us closer to reality."
