Welcome to the Special Issue 2016,
Dentistry 360: The Past, Present
and Future of Dentistry. Join us as
North Texas Dentistry takes a journey to explore this noble profession by
looking at where it has been, where it is,
and where it is going.
With the assistance of Baylor College of
Dentistry we take a look back at the early
years in dentistry through a timeline of
significant events and photos. With a
touch of Texas influence we chart legislative changes and the introduction of
products, materials, instruments and
medications that were game-changers in
the early years. It was not an easy time for
the dentist or patient.
Gradually we migrate to the present day
workings of the dental practice. Through
a series of Custom Profiles of leaders in
the dental community and print advertising, we look at the many parts and people
that make a practice run smoothly and
effectively. The face of the traditional solo
dental practice is changing into many
different styles. Corporate dentistry is
becoming more prevalent as are multispecialty group practices and doctors
having multiple locations.
WRITING / DESIGN
A discussion of the present easily evolves
to a look at the future. Leading doctors in
various specialties offer their perspective
on what lies ahead for the future. New
technology, equipment and philosophies
are moving the profession to a place
where patients will no longer “dread”
going to the dentist.
The Special Issue 2016 provides an
inspiring look of the impressive leaders in
the North Texas dental community and
producing it was a fun adventure.
Enjoy the read!
Keep smiling and have a great day!
