As dentists and health care providers, many of us feel the call
to give back to our community. Events like the Mission of
Mercy and Give Kids a Smile can make donating your time and resources back to the community easy. Volunteering is mutually benefcial for both the volunteer and the recipient. It provides physical and mental rewards; it brings people together; it pro- motes personal growth and self-esteem; and strengthens your community. However, in order to protect our profession, we need volunteers for the ADA, the FDA, and our district associations.

Medical, dental, insurance and other benefits can potentially change from your old company to your new company.  Forbes offers advice on how to manage your benefits in the event of a merger. 

By participating in the Florida Dental Association and the Northeast District Dental Association, I am trying to reach new dentists and help them feel welcome to the profession and the community.
My goal, as a member of the FDA Council of the New Dentist, is to help new dentists understand that the collegiality of our profession has been a cornerstone to its success and will be even more important in the future. We need to change the paradigm of seeing other local dentists and specialists as competitors and re-emphasize that relationships within
the dental community are integral to one’s success. Our ultimate goal is to provide our community with the absolute best in dentistry and oral medicine.
