Olympic Time Again by Michael Miyasaki, DDS

It is always awe inspiring to see what the human body can be pushed to do as we watch the most talented young men and women in the world fly, slide and mentally push themselves to perform their best all the while knowing that the world is watching. I think they are fortunate to have found that activity they can concentrate on and at which they can excel at doing. These top performers also have their support systems of trainers, nutritionists, coaches, etc. Ever consider what type of dental professional we’d be if we had such a support system?
