P R E S I D E N T ’ S M ESSAG EBy Thomas A. Wicheta, DDS
As your new president of the Capital Area Dental Society, I want to welcome all of you to the start of
another great year. I want to thank all of the members who had the confidence in me to elect me to this position. Our Society has accomplished so much in the past years, and we should all be proud of the work that has been done. I know that I have several hard acts to follow, but I am inspired by the fact that my job will be made easier, thanks to the support of my fellow Board members and our past presidents. When I was first asked to serve, I did not know much about what all goes on behind the scenes to bring quality, organized dentistry and programs to the Capital Area. Like many of you, I would show up to the monthly meetings and enjoy a good meal and fellowship while earning a few CE’s. Occasionally, I would listen to some of the programs that CADS was involved in—TMOM, DOCs, and CADF, to name a few. At the time, I did not appreciate the importance of it all. When I attended my first Board meeting, I was a little overwhelmed at the whole process, but was amazed at how well the group functioned. All of the committees were filled, and monthly reports were given as to the progress in each area. I found that we have a group to be proud of. Just take for example
this past year with our past president Jeff working to keep our water fluoridated. The bottom line is that here were a few volunteers out of the total CADS membership working to bring you a quality organization and experience. I would like to ask the membership to consider becoming involved. You don’t have to become president, but you could
help out with a committee. We would love to have you. Also, invite a colleague who is not a member to attend a few of the meetings and let them see for themselves the value of organized dentistry. For my part, I want to keep CADS moving forward and to be the Flagship District within the State. In the next couple months the
committees will lay out their goals and objectives so that we will have a clear vision of where we are headed. I am enthusiastically looking forward to my year of serving you, the membership of CADS. I have enjoyed the experience greatly so far, and I am sure that with everyone’s help, I will enjoy this year as well.

Get to Know the CAPITAL AREA DENTAL FOUNDATION Today!
With more than two years under its belt, the Capital Area Dental Foundation (CADF) is no longer the new kid on the block, yet many dentists are still unfamiliar with this young but growing organization. Created in 2010, the CADF is the charitable arm of the Capital Area Dental Society and it has its own board, organization and funding. The CADF was founded with two primary goals in mind: (1) raising funds to provide charitable dental care to Central Texans in need and (2) recruiting the dentists to provide that life-altering, essential care. Today with the support of its amazing board, volunteers and staff, the CADF is charting new territory and making it easy and enjoyable for dentists to give back to the community.
For more information about CADF programs, partnerships and leadership, visit our brand new web site at:

Your Capital Area Dental So-ciety Delegates came to the
142nd Annual Session of the Texas Dental Association prepared and participated in the proceedings of the House.
Reference Committees hear testimony concerning reso-lutions to be considered by the House of Delegates from delegates and any member of the TDA and make recom-mendations to the House for disposition of the resolutions.
Dr. Julius Eickenhorst served on Reference Committee A, which hears matters concerning Administration, Budget, Building, House of Delegates and Membership Process-ing. Dr. Rhonda Stokley served on Reference Committee C, which concerns Dental Education, Health and Dental Care Programs.
Your new Texas Dental Association President is Dr. Mi-chael Stuart from Mesquite, Texas. Dr. Stuart has served on the Board of Directors of the Texas Dental Association and most recently as Parliamentarian. He is Past President of the Texas Academy of General Dentistry. He has served on numerous committees for these organizations as well as the American Dental Association and the International College of Dentists.
Dr. Glen Hall of Abilene has served the Texas Dental As-sociation as Speaker of the House of Delegates since 2000. He has resigned in order to run as Speaker of the American Dental Association. Dr. John W. Baucum III was elected as the new TDA Speaker of the House.
As an Alternate Delegate, I am happy to report to you that there are no new assessments or dues increases. The House approved a survey to be conducted to determine what type of dental setting Texas dentists practice in, whether it is as sole proprietors, group practice, or as an employee of a corporation. It is important to determine changing trends in order to better serve the membership. Dr. Lance Sanders was elected as a Delegate to the Ameri-can Dental Association and Dr. Alan Moore was elected as an ADA Alternate Delegate.
Dr. David L. Hime was awarded the Order of Good Fellow of the Texas Dental Association.
Dr. Gregory N. Burroughs, Dr. Julius W. Eickenhorst, Dr. David R. Gustafson, Dr. Glenda F. Smith, and Dr. Mervyn Yankleson were presented with TDA Life Member Awards.
Dr. Louis R. Cannatti was presented with the prestigious Fifty Year Award.
Mr. Julio Seretti was awarded the Texas Dental Association Certificate of Merit. This is the highest award bestowed upon a non-dentist by the Texas Dental Association and is for dedication and service to improve the lives of the citizens of Texas. Mr. Seretti was nominated by the Capital Area Dental Society (CADS) and the Capital Area Den-tal Foundation (CADF) for his years of donated services to the Donated Dental Services program and the Texas Mis-sion of Mercy events.
Dr. Karen Frazer is outgoing Vice-President of the Texas Dental Association representing our Southeast Division. She has also served as Chair of the Council on Annual Sessions and other Councils and Committees. Thanks to Dr. Frazer for years of continuous service to our state as-sociation.
Congratulations to those receiving awards and thank you to all of you that participated in the business of the Texas Dental Association.By J. Kavin Kelp, DDS

How Much Radiation Do You Get From Dental X-Rays?
Steven D. Rima is a Board Certified Health Physicist with over 20 years of experience in radiation safety, including teaching medical and dental professionals for state licensure to take medical and dental X-rays. Dr. Rima says that The National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP) says that the average resident of the U.S. receives about 360 mrem every year from background sources. This comes from outer space, radioactive materials in the earth, and small amounts of radioactive material in most foods we consume. “Since your dentist gains valuable information from X-rays to aid you in keeping healthy teeth, it is also not in your best interest to refuse dental X-rays because of the very small amount of radiation you receive from them,” he adds. http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/dental.htm CADS past president, Dr. Joe Neeley, shares a letter his office has written to inform patients about radiation safety and their protocol. He has given his permission to use it in any form that you wish. Thanks to Dr. Neeley.
To see his letter and the complete article, please visit our website at www.capitalareadental.org.
A study published April 10, 2012, in Cancer, a scientific journal of the American Cancer
Society, associates yearly or more frequent dental X-rays with an increased risk of developing meningioma, the most commonly diagnosed brain tumor. This type of tumor is usually not malignant. ABC’s Good Morning America broke this story on April 15, 2012. In a U.S. News and World Report story, ADA media spokesperson Dr. Matthew Messina states that one of the weaknesses of the study is that people’s memories about their X-rays are unclear. “It’s difficult to pin this down, especially without dental records,” he said. Dr. Messina added that the amount of radiation in dental X-rays has gone down significantly over the years, thanks to factors such as advancements in X-ray technology, faster speed X-ray film and the advent of digital X-rays. The study was also observational in nature, meaning it can show an association but not cause-and-effect. “Our take home message is don’t panic. Don’t stop going to the dentist,” said the lead author of the study Dr. Elizabeth Claus, a neurological surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and the Yale School of Public Health.

Sources of RadiationThe following table is intended to give a perspective of the amount of
radiation we are commonly exposed to in relative terms.
*No distinction is made in this report comparing digital radiographs to conventional film. I suspect that this data is based on film. So the digital dosage is approximately half for these values.

What are theyabout us?saying
“I’ve hired two employees that were trained at The Center and my experience has been great. CDP has an excellent training program and the assistants are mentored by some of the very best dentists in the state of Texas. Because of this, they graduate with a better understanding of what excellence in dentistry is all about. I would highly recommend the graduates of The Center to anyone looking for a well-trained, motivated assistant.DR. MIKE WILLIAMSON
