BOSTON, Mass., USA: “It all starts here” is the theme at the 2014 Yankee Dental Congress, where an estimated 28,000 dental professionals are expected to gather with a shared goal of improving and maintaining patients’ oral health — as well as overall health. Attendees can expect to find a varied selection of continuing dental education courses and a bustling exhibit hall floor featuring some of the most innovative products in dentistry.

It all takes place under one roof — at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from Jan. 29 to Feb. 2.

According to meeting organizers, YDC 2014 will feature more than 300 continuing education courses covering virtually every sector of dentistry, presented by some of the industry's top speakers. Highlights include:

Restorative dentistry, presented by John Sorensen, DMD, PhD, and Sam Simos, DDS.
General health, presented by Bart Johnson, DDS.
Practice management, presented by Kirk Behrendt, Jennifer Blackmon, Mark Hyman, DDS, Lisa Gualtieri, PhD, Rachel Mele and Chris Scappatura.
Prosthodontics, presented by William Wilson, DDS.
Orthodontics, presented by Chris Baker, DMD, RN, and Wick Alexander, DDS.

The YDC also will offer quality continuing education programs, including:

“The Ninth Annual Conference for Women in Dentistry.”
“Diagnosis and Treatment of Oral and Facial Lesions — Fast Track.”
“Master the Skills of Marketing Your Practice: One-Day Marketing Symposium.”
“New Dentist Itinerary.”

Attendees will be able to connect with some of the brightest minds in dentistry on the Exhibit Hall floor and discover some of the latest trends, techniques, products and services available from a field of more than 450 exhibitors. Additionally, there will be a number of continuing dental education programs offered on the exhibit hall floor. Among the choices:

“Catapult Continuum,” a new series of courses covering a wide range of timely topics, is sponsored by the Catapult Group and offered at no additional charge to attendees.
“CE on the Exhibit Hall Floor” comprises more than 25 hands-on courses and lectures, all available at no charge or at a significantly reduced rate.
The “Dental Office Pavilion” presents opportunities for hands-on product analysis for those considering new equipment or technology. This program, too, is offered at no additional charge — presented by Henry Schein Dental.
The “Healthy Living Pavilion” enables attendees to earn C.E. credits while learning from experts about various diets and how to be a healthier.
“High-Tech Playground” displays some of dentistry's latest equipment and technologies in an informal setting on the exhibit hall floor without sales pressure (and at no charge).
“Live Dentistry,” also at no charge, features top clinicians performing live, leading-edge procedures. Supplies are being provided by Patterson Dental.
“Social Media Hot Spot” — another new offering for 2014 will help you understand what's ahead with social media marketing in dentistry.

On Thursday, Jan. 30, attendees can have lunch with Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl. Or that evening, “Going for the Gold at Yankee” will be open to everyone — whether you want to be a participant or spectator.

On Friday afternoon, presenting “Dan Abrams — Man Down,” Dr. Abrams tackles the toughest case of his career and turns conventional thinking upside down in the process.

There is still time to register for YDC 2014 at www.yankeedental.com to take advantage of what meeting organizers describe as, “four days that will inspire, inform, and entertain.”
