JADA Live - The Journal of the American Dental Association is Hitting the Road Soon - Make Plans to Attend!!!

 

Later this summer and into the fall, there will be a series of JADA Live seminars coming.  The idea is simple: bring the page of the Journal of the American Dental Association to YOU live.

 

I was fortunate enough to be involved with 2 of these really cool and innovative programs last year… and this year I've been asked to return and participate in 3 more or the programs.

 

This year's 3 programs will focus on digital technology, with a special emphasis on 2D and 3D radiography.

 

The clinical concept of "digital x-rays" began to take enter the  market in the very late 80's and/or the very early 90's.  I can still remember visiting a dental school friend of me, Dr. Greg Holm in Wichita, Kansas and seeing he system.  It was one of the coolest dental tech things I'd seen (up to that point in time) and I loved it!

 

Since then, my beloved profession has seen so much growth in technology that it is almost stunning how much technology has changed my professional life.

 

Now programs such as JADA Live are bringing the "creme de la creme" of leading edge dental hardware & techniques to major population centers so that you can learn on Friday and return to implement your new knowledge on Monday.

 

These programs are being featured in three areas:

•  Minneapolis, MN on August 1, 2014
• Tampa, FL on September 19, 2014
• McLean, VA on October 24, 2014

For all the details go to the event website to learn more & even register.

 

I hope to see many of you there.

Here is what the programs will feature:
