Fuentes, Susan Gunn, Neil Rudoff, Kathy Duran-Thal We are entering a very busy and exciting time of the year… the holiday season is here! At North Texas Dentistry we are very blessed and thankful for the success we have found this year and look forward to continuing to bring the latest news and information to the North Texas dental community. While working with the doctors of North Texas Endodontics, Dr. Joel Small, Dr. John Regan and Dr. David Witherspoon, we discovered that these men are not only colleagues but also friends. In addition to their expertise in their vocation, each doctor’s avocation plays a major role in reaching personal fulfillment. Whether they are painting, cooking, writing, or entertaining, they strive to achieve balance and continual growth in their lives. Dr. Bruce Barbash presents Smiles in the Spotlight. Follow the treatment course as Dr. Barbash transforms a smile and a life in this featured case, Implant Overdenture Retreatment with Advanced Design Hybrid Prosthesis. Also in this issue, Healthy Living provides the steps to making a delicious Pumpkin Parfait and highlights the health benefits for this fall favorite. Practice Management explores the important role Emotional Intelligence plays in our personal and professional lives and Money Matters discusses steps you can take to avoid the physical and mental heartache that occurs when embezzlement occurs in the dental practice.
