BROOKLYN, N.Y., USA: At a dental presentation at Interfaith Hospital, Dr. Charles Grannum, DMD, director of the Department of Dentistry, and Dr. Ingrid Dowrich, DDS, chair, presented Dr. Bernard Fialkoff, a periodontist and dental implant specialist of Queens, N.Y., with a Leadership in Dental Education Award. At the end of the presentation on periodontal treatment, Grannum came to the floor and surprised Fialkoff with the plaque.

Grannum presented the plaque, reading, “In recognition of your unselfish commitment to educating and mentoring in the field of dental implantology and periodontics.”

Interfaith Hospital’s Dental program and its students are frequent attendees of the Fialkoff Queens Dental Study Club. The club was founded in the mid ’90s and has an audience of 60 to 80 dentists each month. It focuses on raising dental excellence, standards and camaraderie in the New York boroughs.

The next evening, Fialkoff presented on “What Really Works in this Economy? It is Time for a Change,” with 60 dentists and staff in attendance. The study club will continue its monthly meetings into 2012 with a presentation in May by Dr. Neil Berman, DDS, and Mark G. Marinbach of Nu-Life Restorations of Long Island, in June with Dr. Edward Portnoy, DMD, on “The Presentation No One Wants to Give,” and in July with presenter Dr. Marvin Fier, DDS, and Velscope, an oral cancer screening device.

Dr. Bernard Fialkoff has a periodontal, dental implant and cosmetic laser surgery office for more than 31 years on 56-03 214th St. in Bayside, N.Y. The office web site and blog, which shows photos, study club photos and bulletins, and other community activities of the office, is located at www.baysidedentist.com.
