Dr. Linda Himmelberger
PDA President 2006-2007
My involvement with PDA
began very soon after I began
my practice. OSHA had come
out with some very stringent
regulations and I was really
annoyed and fired up about
the fact that government was
imposing these additional
regulations on us. I went to a
local dental society meeting
and I cornered the president
of our local and said ‘the
PDA and the ADA have to
do something about these
regulations,’ and he looked
me right in the eye and said,
‘you are organized dentistry
and if you think something
needs to be done, then you
need to get involved.’ And
I obviously took his words
to heart, and have been
involved with the PDA and
ADA ever since.
