It’s a new day …

This year we are proud to be able to present for the first time at the Texas Meeting a certification course for dental assistants on the application of pit and fissure sealants as well as a coronal polishing course available for the first time as well. This has been a long time in coming, and we are very excited to be able to offer this to our membership.

It’s a new life …

The Council on Annual Sessions is aware of how important the dentist/lab technician relationship is in the dental team concept. Because of this, for the first time in a long time, we are offering courses from some of the most prestigious speakers in the world for both the dentist and lab technician.

This “Lab Track” on Saturday, May 7, from 8:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. offers five session options, culminating with lunch and an open forum, hosted by Dr Mark Murphy, to discuss the “Role of the Dentist/Laboratory Technician in a Digital World.” Some of the greatest dentist and lab technician minds in the world will be here to participate in this.

The state-of-the-art exhibit hall is the place you need to be to find more than 500 exhibitor booths as well as the TDA Pavilion, TDA Smiles Foundation, DENPAC Silent Auction and the TDA Perks Program partners.

In addition, there will be a digital caricature artist and happy hours on Thursday and Friday.

Our own Dr Bud Luecke and his band Morning will generate the music for Thursday’s Texas Party.

It’s a new dawn. It’s a new day. It’s a new life. I’m feelin’ good!
