A Message from Our President

Considering the 85-member turnout at the last dental society meeting, most everyone enjoyed a nice dinner and an evening of comradery with our fellow dental professionals. Altogether, 185 dental professionals attended the meeting. This month we look forward to continuing the strong involvement on November 7, when Dr. Issac Tawil comes to speak on Atraumatic Extractions and Socket Preservation. Dr. Tawil is the current president of Advanced Implant Educators and a member of the Academy of Osseointegration. With a DDS from NYU and MS in Biology, he is a top educator in CE and on faculty at the Osseodensification Academy.

The Presenting Sponsor for this meeting is Patterson Dental, and they should be recognized for their commitment to CCDS as they are consistently the first sponsor every year to pledge their support. 

Please encourage our colleagues to attend the meeting. There is no charge beyond membership dues for members of CCDS. Members pay on a sliding scale over the first 5 years toping out at $150 for component dues. Our 6+ year member component dues are $250. With 8 meetings a year, members pay $31.25 per meeting receive 16 hours CE and a nice meal. The cost for non-members is $100 per meeting in person or via Zoom. Consider coming, getting a nice dinner, and enjoying the interaction with your colleagues. Please RSVP on the www.clarkdentists.org website. There is an option to select a vegetarian entrée if you desire.
