Dr. Gerry Ross
 Dr.
Gerry Ross graduated from the University of Toronto in 1971 and started
his dental practice in Tottenham that same year. For over 30 years
Dr. Ross has treated his patients with the most innovative tools that
dentistry has to offer, including Air Abrasion, Diagnodent and Lasers.
He provides tremendous support to the dental community, and is dedicated
to learning and teaching the newest techniques in dentistry.
To date, Dr. Ross has given more than 100 courses on Air Abrasion
around the world, lecturing to both individual dentists as well large
audiences. He is also very much involved in research, performing original
research on the Diagnodent, from which he published 4 primary articles.
Dr. Ross started lecturing on Lasers in 1992 and Low Level Lasers
in 1995. He has given over 20 lectures on lasers, both Surgical and
Low Level. He provides on-going support for all dentists attending
the lectures, and still receives many phone calls from dentists who
have attending his lectures and would like to consult with him regarding
individual cases.
Dr. Ross’s contributions to the dental community have resulted
in many certifications and awards. He holds advanced certification
from the Academy of Laser Dentistry, which is the highest qualification
available from this organization. A certification of this level requires
superior knowledge of the scientific principles of lasers, clinical
proficiency as well as the presentation of five clinical cases to
the board. Additionally, Dr. Ross the president of the Ontario Laser
Study Club and the Canadian Chapter of the Academy of Laser Dentistry,
holds a fellowship from the American Society of Laser Medicine &
Surgery and has been presented with a Service Award from the Ontario

on Low Level Lasers and will be working with Jimmie Kert in updating
his book, Clinical Laser Therapy. Furthermore, Dr. Ross has been asked
by the Oral Health to write an article on Low Level Lasers, which
is currently being prepared.

Alana
Ross graduated top of her class with an Honours Degree in Biomedical
Science. Her studies focused primarily on the physiology and anatomy
of the body, with emphasis on the effect of the organ systems to disease.
One of the primary requirements of her degree was the effective communication
of scientific facts and theory’s to individuals in the community,
students and professors. She was frequently involved in workshops
with physicians on case-studies and grant proposals.
Her work experience is diverse but has provided her with many valuable
assets. She worked in a dental office for 6 years, which has provided
her with a dental background, as well as the ability to communicate
effectively with patients and doctors in a medical setting. She also
worked at Toronto General Hospital during the SARS crisis, and worked
interactively with the doctors and hospital coordinators to develop
and effective and confidential way to admit patients.
In the past two years, Alana has done extensive research on laser
literature, with emphasis on Low Level Lasers. She has worked hands-on
studying the effects of the Low Level Laser on muscle relaxation,
pain relief and wound healing. She can integrate the information she
has obtained from literature and the individual case studies and communicate
it effectively. |
