MWU Students Organize 1st Annual Super Sealant Saturday!

In August, Dr. Gary DeWood of Spear Education at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry led a course for students from our ASDA chapter on photography in dentistry. His wife, Dr. Cheryl DeWood, and Dr. Lee Ann Brady also shared their wealth of knowledge about using photography in the dental practice. Mostly D4 students were present, along with a handful of D3 and D2 students. There were 36 seats available to us in the course, held in the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry’s beautiful facilities.

D1’s in particula
We were also given the opportunity to learn how to take such photographs, using each other as models and assistants. We used SLR cameras with ring flashes to take the photos, and were given the basics on how to read a histogram for a photograph. Taking photos so close up and using mirrors is harder than I thought it would be! There are certain settings at which the camera should be used, and physical features of the subject that should be captured for each different angle that is photographed. It was a great experience to introduce us to photography in dentistry, especially since each suite in the clinic will have its own camera soon.
Dr. DeWood focused on why photography is so beneficial in a dental practice, and not just for orthodontists and esthetic cases. Dental photographs aren’t just for presenting cases to colleagues and publishing in papers. Photographs can be used to more effectively communicate with our patients. Many times patients can feel confused about radiographs, even when we try to explain it in terminology with which they are familiar. When they look into their own mouths, they don’t see everything we can see with mirrors and loupes. With the proper photography equipment, including accessories such as mirrors and cheek retractors, we can present the patient with images of their own mouths that they can use to point out their own concerns while we show them our concerns as well. Effective communication helps the patient develop ownership of his or her own dental health. Photographs are also effective communication between dentists and our labs.
Look for the Spear Education and the Scottsdale Center events listed in the “Coming Events” section.

The American Dental Political Action Committee is the national organization that gives dentists influence in Congress. Similar organizations exist in each state. We students have the opportunity to join ADPAC and begin to share our voice in national issues. This coming spring we will have an ADPAC membership drive. We hope to have Rep. Dr. Paul Gosar, D.D.S. (Creighton, ’85) come and visit us for that event to sit down with a few of our class. We will also be honored to have Dr. Rob Robertson, chief of staff for Dr. Gosar, speak to us that same week. They will speak to us about why politics are a necessary part of our careers.
ADPAC has recently been involved in landmark legislation. The national healthcare bill was supposed to have included dental care in it. However, because of the high participation that the ADA has, and its voice through ADPAC, dentistry was not put into the Affordable Care Act. This protects us dentists by allowing us to function as independents, not bound to government oversight and regulation. Currently, ADPAC is involved in keeping dentistry tax-free, allowing dentists to write off equipment purchases, and attempting to prevent the defunding of dental initiatives while the congressional budget super-committee debates what to cut from the national budget.

St. Mary’s Food Drive and Pumpkin Pie Eating Contest
Winter Holiday Oral B Smart Series 5000 Electric Toothbrush Sale
To top off the end of fall quarter, ASDA held a pumpkin pie eating contest and canned food drive to collect donations for St. Mary’s Food Bank. Both competitions were a battle between the classes. The winners of the pumpkin pie-eating contest earned bragging rights, while the class that collected the most food items won a pizza party.
The D3 class of 2013 prevailed by winning both the pie-eating contest and the food drive! The friendly competition was a great chance for the classes to come together and hundreds of food items were donated to the less fortunate for the upcoming holiday season. Thank you to everyone who brought donations!!
