TDO FOR POSTGRADS
A lot of students think they have to hire a commercial design company to design their first office. They spend a lot of money and are dismayed when six months later they have to redo it because their office wasn’t designed the way an endodontist works. (Worse, they decide to live with their office the way it is and develop a repetitive stress injury). We want to save you from making this and other costly mistakes. With TDO for Postgrads, you can start developing an ergonomic understanding of how to work while you’re still in school, enabling you to intelligently plan your office and your practice.
We believe in mentoring.
At TDO, both we and our users are committed to helping young clinicians establish a philosophy of practice that will guide them their entire career. We believe this philosophy of practice is the most important gift we can give young clinicians.

Features & Benefits
Ergonomics, office design, photography—the following are just a few of the many ways TDO mentors new clinicians through classes and workshops, online chat forums, our annual conference and private instruction and mentoring. View Dr. Carr's

At our special student rate, you’ll quickly find that TDO for Postgrads more than pays for itself. TDO for Postgrads has all the functionality of our professional version; the only difference is that your patient database is limited to 500 entries.
Ergonomics
We can’t emphasize enough the importance of having an ergonomically designed office—an office designed around a sound understanding of how an endodontist works with the microscope. And no one understands efficient ergonomic workflow better than TDO because it was we who first introduced the microscope into the endodontist’s office in the first place. We can help you design a fully functional, aesthetically-pleasing office for a fraction of the price you’d pay a commercial design company.
Office Design
The plumbing. The flooring. The electrical. The cart. There are a lot of moving parts to designing an office in addition to the matter of ergonomics. By joining TDO, you’ll be able to post questions about anything related to the physical plans of your office on TDO Chat and hear back from 30 to 40 people who have just gone through the process within a matter of days. Our users know what the construction costs are in different areas. They know where to buy things at the best price. Best of all, they’re willing to share their advice for free simply because someone else did the same for them.
Photography
Endodontic photography is a difficult skill that’s poorly understood. It’s also one of the most important ways to build your practice. Taking high quality, compelling pictures through the microscope is how you communicate your value to referring dentists and patients. TDO founder Dr. Gary Carr was the first endodontist to start taking pictures through the microscope, and over the years we’ve taught hundreds of doctors proper photo-documentation techniques. We’ll advise you on what equipment to purchase, how to use an adapter, the ergonomics of picture taking and all the other parts of good microscope photography.
