PDAA MEETING
With over 33 year’s experience, I thought you
couldn't teach an old dog new tricks. I was
wrong. At the Greater New York Dental
Meeting, I had the pleasure of meeting new
people and the honor of participating in the
Crest brushing demo (pictured). I learned
cutting edge techniques with new products
that not only satisfied my required CE, but
were very beneficial in my field.
If you have the opportunity, I highly
recommend you attend the GNYDM. Not only
will you get updated information, free CE and
may sample products, but you could win a
great prize such as the Apple I-Pad I scored
at my visit to the GNYDM.
