LMTmag.com was created to bring the Dental Lab community together by providing a destination for us to educate, inspire, encourage and empower one another.
To ensure LMTmag.com continues to be a trusted and valuable online community, there are a few simple ground rules to follow:
Be kind and thoughtful
We all have different levels of experience and different areas of expertise, but at the end of the day, we all share the same passion for the dental lab industry! When commenting on posts and photos or answering questions, don’t be judgmental or disrespectful. We all had to start somewhere and as a community, we should aim to build each other up and to further and better not only our peers, but the industry as a whole.
LMT and LMTmag.com have zero tolerance for bullying, harassment, inappropriate language, flaming and spamming. We reserve the right to remove, block, delete and suspend your account if you disregard these guidelines.
Everyone's opinion is valid because everyone is an industry member and everyone should feel welcome to contribute to discussions.

Be yourself

Laboratories: Have work/a case/a product you use/company announcement that you're proud of and want to promote? If it makes sense with the topic to which you're submitting or to the conversation in which you're participating, go for it. It's times like this that the value of LMTmag.com really shines.
