As many of you know by now, I am coordinating a unique dental symposium for Female Dentists on Friday November 13th entitled “Women- How Do We Do It All?” There are so many individuals who have been helpful in the development and implementation of this program that I need to pause and thank them – they are my village. Dr. Joanne Burrell Dr. Howard Fraiman Presents Dentistry's Digital Revolution Dentistry, like the world we live in, is changing from “analog” to “digital”. We are in the midst of a digital revolution and it is happening quickly. Digitization will impact all aspects of dentistry, including but not limited to: radiography, treatment planning, chair side digital impressions, cad/cam crowns, etc. This program will serve to introduce several areas of the emerging technology and its capabilities. Dr. Fraiman graduated from Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1991 as part of the Biodental Program with Rennsselaer Polytechnic Institute. He received his degree in Periodontics in 1993 and graduated from the Perio-Prosthodontic program in 1994. Dr. Fraiman maintains private practices in Philadelphia and Paoli. He teaches Perio-Pros as part of the Periodontics Department at Penn. He has lectured on topics including Implants and implant site development. Cocktails - 6 PM • Dinner - 7 PM Meeting - 8 PM See page 15 for Registration form. Benco Dental has been a strong supporter of Woman in Leadership with the Lucy Hobbs Project. The nonprofit component is underwriting a majority of the cost of the speaker, coordinating the registration and assisting with promotion of the program. Ms. Amanda Ankner, Business Innovation Project Coordinator, has worked with our team to coordinate the speaker, the CE and registration. Many thanks to my long standing dental supply representative, Joan McGowan Schofield; she was the inspiration behind this program and has actively participated in every step of the planning. Benco has partnered with our host facility, Abington Jefferson Health, to coordinate this event. Abington has always been dear to me. I did my GPR residency here over 25 years ago and just have never left. The administration has always been very supportive of the dental division and I greatly appreciate their support of this program. Meg McGoldrick, President of Abington Jefferson Health, has graciously donated the venue and supplied a team to coordinate the project. My team – my village at Abington - is extensive: Beth Ann Neill, Corporate Director of Public Relations and Marketing; Barbara Hartnett, Vice President of Physician Services; John Phillips, Physician Relations Manager; Barbara Vasco, Marketing and Communications Manager; Millie Luciano, Operations Manager Continuing Medical Education; Michael Leibrandt, technical support; and Julianne Domm, graphic design artist. Each of these individuals has offered guidance and support in this project. The Attendings of the Abington Dental Division have been my colleagues, mentors and friends for 25 years. Under the leadership of Dr. Steve Moriconi, Chief and Director of the Dental Division, our GPR program has grown from two residents with three dental operatories to four residents and seven operatories. I am not the clinician I am today without the guidance of the many individuals on staff at Abington. The division has graciously agreed to financially support this event as well. My village extends to the MBDS executive board. When I first proposed this idea, they were fully supportive of this venture offering guidance and financial assistance as necessary. Dr. Amanda Hemmer has been instrumental in the expansion of the program to include two leaders from the ADA as our opening speakers: Dr.’s Feinberg, ADA President, and O’Loughlin, CEO of the ADA. This is Amanda’s culminating project for the ADA Institute for Diversity Program. I am so honored to have worked with her on this event.

Halloween is just around the corner and the Montgomery Bucks Dental Society (MBDS) would like to invite you to participate in an easy, philanthropic and fun program that keeps cavity-causing candy away from our patients. To participate in the MBDS Candy Buy-Back Program, you simply offer to purchase excess candy from your patients after Halloween for a nominal amount and then MBDS will help you donate the candy to charity. Setting up a Candy BuyBack Program in your office is a wonderful way for your office to promote oral health, engage with your younger patients and join the MBDS in helping Operation Gratitude. Interested in participating? We collected these tips from past participants to make it easy for you: 1. Select a date and time to collect and weigh the candy at your office. • We recommend selecting a day during the week following Halloween • If you choose a limited time period (~2.5 hours), you can turn it into an event at the office 2. Decide how much you will pay for each pound of candy surrendered. • We suggest paying each patient $1 for every pound of treats delivered • Make sure to set a per-person limit (perhaps five pounds) • Provide a dental gift bag to participants and/or hold a raffle for an exciting prize 3. Announce the MBDS Candy Buy-Back Program to your patients! • E-blast your patients • Promote the program on your office’s Facebook page and website • Invite adults to donate the leftover candy that they did not give out 4. Create your own in-office signage to promote the event • Check out our website for some ideas from other MBDS dentists 5. Day of the Event: Be Prepared! • Make sure you have all the supplies you need: Scale to weigh the candy; Plenty of $1 bills; Staff available to track the results; and Camera to take photos • Box the collected candy as it’s collected (…start saving your dental supply boxes now for packing!) • Consider wearing costumes during the collection to add some fun and spirit to the event • Memorialize the event on social media by posting pictures and also submit them to MBDS to be included in our next newsletter and on our website 6. Join MBDS in donating the collected candy! • MBDS will be collecting candy amassed by our dentists. The collection locations will be announced in a future bulletin and by email blast. Collection will be some time in mid - November. • MBDS will be donating the collected candy to Operation Gratitude • If you would prefer to donate the candy directly, dentists are encouraged to find a local Liberty United Service Organization (www.LibertyUSO.org) to drop off their collected candy 7. Make sure to thank your patients for their participation and announce how many pounds of candy were collected by your office and MBDS dentists for Operation Gratitude We Need Volunteers for the MBDS Candy Buy Back Initiative How Can You Help? • We are looking for offices in Montgomery and Bucks Counties to volunteer to be "drop off stations" for the collected candy the week of November 8th. • We also need volunteers to assist picking up and delivering the candy on Saturday November 14th to Dr. Angel Stout's office. Her office will serve as a consolidation packing area. From her office we plan to drop the candy off at the USO at the Philadelphia airport. Please contact Joe Persichetti at [email protected] to volunteer! Thank you in advance for your help! 4 October/November, 2015 P L A N TO JOI N U S F OR POWER AND BALANCE OF THE FEMALE DENTIST Abington Hospital – Je erson Health Zaslow Auditorium Frobese Conference Center 1200 Old York Rd., Abington, PA 19001 Friday, November 13, 2015 8 AM – 1 PM CE: 3 CREDITS is president, Transitions Group North America, a full service coaching company for dentistry.

I think it goes without saying that Greg touched a lot of us and his spirit will be with us eternally. Over the past few weeks, some of his closest friends and I have thought about how best to honor Greg and keep his memory alive. With that being said, it is with great pride that I present: “The 1st Annual Greg Chess Memorial Golf/Dinner/Celebration” - The date is Friday, October 23rd at The Bucks Club, Jamison, PA As many of you are aware, Greg was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma prior to marrying Robin and starting a family. Because of this, Greg was unable to obtain life insurance, so all funds that are raised that day will directly benefit Robin, Gavin and Dylan. If you are not a golfer, we will be having a dinner and silent auction that evening and would love to have you and any additional guests attend and remember Greg. All information regarding the day can be found at: www.friendsofgregchessmemorialfund.com Again, I want to THANK YOU for all your Love and Support and look forward to the start of a GREAT Annual Event.

Seminar #3, Friday, January 22, 2016 Dr. Lou Graham - “A Sound Recession-Proof Restorative/Hygiene Practice: Integrating the Team and Creating Value” ABOUT THIS COURSE: The essence of this course is all about integrating “your” practice’s philosophical approach to dentistry amongst your entire team allowing for seamless interactions. Your initial exams, periodic exams, periodontal exams, oral cancer screening exams, x-ray protocols, diagnostic approaches, and communication skills all must be consistent to allow your practice to maximize value. This course will highlight a day in practice, demonstrating some of the latest techniques and truly maximize what you can be doing each day to become a recession proof office. This course is recommended for doctors and their hygienists, or should I say, hygienists…bring your doctors! COURSE OBJECTIVES: • Understanding what “your” philosophy is. • How hygiene growth is the number 1 driver to overall growth and the essence of your practice. • Why the “wheel” defines consistency and communication between the doctor and hygienist. • Understanding the latest in diagnostics for the hygienist/doctor team and why these new technologies provide you with so much more information and equally, allow you to show and deliver far more diagnostically driven outcomes. • Combination treatment plans that integrates the hygienist and the doctor. • Prevention at every age, customizing your protocols. • The latest in rinses, toothpastes, gels and how to again treat areas from chronic halitosis to refractory periodontal patients and so much more! • Specific casework on patients 65 and beyond…They are key to your growth!.
