PAGD convened its first-ever New Dentist Conference in March 2019. Its name notwithstanding, the New Dentist Conference gathered an eclectic mix of dentists in different practice settings and career stages. Residents, students, new practice owners, corporate practice dentists, dental teams, veteran practitioners looking for new talent: All were present and all participated in making this an exciting inaugural event.
Dr. Ron Kaminer started the festivities with Optimizing Workflow Through New Techniques and Technologies. He covered his favorite restorative materials and technologies that will helpfully make everyone’s jobs easier. Attendees then got some hands-on time with some of those technologies at the Technology Showcase. Saturday concluded with a surprise murder mystery reception live with local performers. Sunday’s half day featured Dr. Paul Goodman of University of Pennsylvania and Dental Nachos fame presenting on New Dentist Decision Making for Success in Private Practice.
