We are so excited to share this conversation with Dr. Joy Poskozim, where we learned so much about what it takes to care for geriatric dental patients, specifically those with different types of neurodegeneration. We got so much from this discussion!🤩

Dr. Joy’s true passion is being an advocate for her geriatric dental patients. She is the dental director for several nursing care facilities where she educates staff and provides care to nursing home residents. She also makes house calls in Chicago and the surrounding areas. 

Dr. Poskozim has been in private practice for 25 years, practicing integrative health general dentistry at her office on the northwest side of Chicago. She has been performing dental procedures on the home-bound for over 16 years. She graduated from Marquette University in 1990, and New York University College of Dentistry in 1994. She completed a GPR from Woodhull Medical Center in 2000 where she was awarded Resident of the Year. In 2017 she earned her Dentistry in Long-Term Care Certificate from the University of the Pacific Dental School, her Fellowship with the Special Care Dental Association Geriatric Council in 2018, and is certified as a Dementia Practitioner as of 2021.

Chicago Midwinter allowed us to experience so many helpful products, and this week, we’re going over everything we learned about what SHOFU has to offer dental practices. 

SHOFU has been producing dental materials for the clinic & the lab for over 100 years. Up until a decade ago, their main focus was abrasives, but they’ve since expanded into specializing in bringing restoratives to the market, with composites in every category.
