PRACTICE “SPEED DATING”
“Speed Dating” Practice Networking brings dentists looking to sell their practices or to hire an associate together with dentists looking for ownership or employment opportunities. This event has placed many dentists into private practices by providing a chance to network with colleagues from every corner of Colorado.
LEARNING
ON DEMAND
The CDA New Dentist Committee isn’t just for social events. It’s also new dentists’ resource for all things business. From managing practice liability and securing your financial future to buying a practice and navigating tax season, we’ve got you covered with a suite of on demand videos you can watch when you need them.
FACES OF THE CDA
In March, Dr. Brett Kessler and Dr. Gina Kessler, along with 15 other colleagues from Dentistry Making a Difference, went to Guatemala for a dental mission trip. With a dream of doing something like this, they decided to go for it when the opportunity came about.
Along with staff and many colleagues, the Kesslers saw people who are in extreme poverty with huge dental needs. With their comfort zones being stretched in huge ways as they leave their “cushy urban” office, they helped work a five-chair clinic that opened recently through the Spear Open Wide Foundation.
One patient left a lasting impression. Her name is Araceli.
