I had a chance to speak alongside Dr. Tony Fuqua at the FW district dental society for few minutes. We began to ‘champion the effort’ of EBD (see previous posts) with a 5 minute presentation. Overall, presentation went well: saw few of the younger docs nodding their head with approval, the older ones: staring at their watches. ha!

* On a side note, Dr Fuqua is the founder of Cook Childrens Save-A-Smile program. Save-A-Smile is an outstanding program offering dental care to underprivileged children since 2004 in the Fort Worth area. Her program just recently was awarded the Golden Apple Award from the ADA for access to care. More importantly, she’s a great friend and colleague !! * I am honored to have recently signed up with Save-A-Smile to be one of the many volunteers for such an outstanding program. My first ‘gig’ will be first week of October. Once M Dentistry gets up and running, we’ll be able to provide more services with this program!

The presenter for the evening was Sgt Duane Tinker of Dental Compliance Specialists LLC.  He is a former Texas State Board Investigator who brings much experience and knowledge regarding compliance issues.
