President’s Message
I love train stations, I really do. There is a genuine
energy, a hustle and bustle with people coming and
going,
that
I
find
exhilarating
and
entertaining. Strange, I know, but over the years I
seem to have spent, and continue to spend, a fair
amount of time waiting in train stations, in
particularly the Trenton train station. Both of my
children have spent time in NYC and one of the
Dr. Joanne Burrell
easiest ways to get back and forth is utilizing the New
Jersey Transit Line out of Trenton. Being the
triple A type personality dentists often are, I am always early waiting for them,
parked in the line of cars picking up passengers. This gives me ample time to
“people watch.”
I find the train station exhilarating because everyone is moving, going
someplace, checking their watch, checking the board, walking and sometimes
running. Everyone is on a mission, whether it is to get on the train or pick
someone up; Entertaining due to the wide variety of people one observes: young,
old, business people, students, parents, boyfriends, girlfriends – you name it. It
is fascinating to watch the interactions of people, the various fashion senses and
the individuals juggling luggage whether it is their own or someone else’s.
The interactions are often heartwarming to observe; the girlfriend coming
out of the station, seeing her boyfriend, watching the huge smile on her face
develop; the parents waiting in the car, anxiously checking their watches. Dad
gets out of the car, again looks at his watch; Mom bobs up and down looking
over the crowds trying to catch a glimpse of the person they are waiting
for. When all the family members see each other, it is touching: hugs, smiles,
quick chatting and sometimes tears. Dad’s being Dad’s...they typically pick up
the luggage and the party moves on.
Luggage is another interesting item to observe at the train station. It often
varies on what I suspect is the travel savviness of the individual. Who does not
use luggage on wheels anymore?? You would be amazed. Then there is a wide
variety of luggage on wheels. Some are easy gliders and roll right along, no
hiccups. Then there are others...yes, the luggage might be on wheels, but they
topple one way, are righted, than they topple the other way – amusing. Then
there are the travelers who really are attempting to carry way too much, the
rolling bag, the overstuffed bag over the shoulder and the back pack larger than
life. All of this creates a Sherpa type of appearance.
During the holidays, the train station is literally a hum of activity – almost
as if on steroids. I have sat waiting for one of my children on almost every
holiday. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There are no expectations on
this holiday except good food, family and friends. Typically our meal means as
many carbohydrates that can possibly fit on a dining room table. My kind of
meal. I suspect that this Thanksgiving I will be waiting at the Trenton station for
Chelsea. The police will be directing cars which will most likely wrap around
the block, and people will be darting across the street to waiting cars. She will

Abington Dental Access Program Update
We now have over 42 dentists participating in the Abington Dental Access program. Abington reports both the patients
and participating dentists are very pleased with this worthy program providing basic dental services to the uninsured or
underinsured residents of the greater North Penn community.
This unique model of dental care is successful due to the partnership of Abington Health which administrates the
program, the VNA Foundation of Greater North Penn’s grant of $100,000 to provide the funding, and Montgomery-Bucks
Dental Society helping to coordinate recruitment of dentists.
The goal is to continue to increase the number of participating dentists so those in need of dental care who may also
have transportation issues can have a dentist proximal to them. Also, increasing the number of participating dentists will
allow the program to serve more patients without taking too much chair time from each participating dentist. This is not a
pro bono program. Compensation to participating dentists will be roughly half their regular fees.
If you have already volunteered your dental services, thank you so much. If not, please consider joining your
colleagues in this very worthy Dental Access Program.
For more information or to ask a question, contact The Dental Access Program manager at 215-855-8296.

Seminar #3, Friday, January 22, 2016
Dr. Lou Graham - “A Sound Recession-Proof Restorative/Hygiene Practice: Integrating the Team
and Creating Value”
ABOUT THIS COURSE:
The essence of this course is all about integrating “your” practice’s philosophical approach to dentistry amongst your entire team allowing
for seamless interactions. Your initial exams, periodic exams, periodontal exams, oral cancer screening exams, x-ray protocols, diagnostic approaches, and communication skills all must be consistent to allow your practice to maximize value. This course will highlight a day in practice, demonstrating some of the latest techniques and truly maximize what you can be doing each day to become a recession proof office. This
course is recommended for doctors and their hygienists, or should I say, hygienists…bring your doctors!
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• Understanding what “your” philosophy is.
• How hygiene growth is the number 1 driver to overall growth and the essence of your practice.
• Why the “wheel” defines consistency and communication between the doctor and hygienist.
• Understanding the latest in diagnostics for the hygienist/doctor team and why these new technologies provide you with so much
more information and equally, allow you to show and deliver far more diagnostically driven outcomes.
• Combination treatment plans that integrates the hygienist and the doctor.
• Prevention at every age, customizing your protocols.
• The latest in rinses, toothpastes, gels and how to again treat areas from chronic halitosis to refractory periodontal patients and so much more!
• Specific casework on patients 65 and beyond…They are key to your growth!.
DR. LOU GRAHAM is an internationally recognized lecturer extensively involved in continuing education for dental professionals. His lectures focus on incorporating current clinical advancements through “conservative dentistry.” He emphasizes the same concepts he practices: dental health diagnosis, treatment plans
for medically compromised patients, conservative treatment, cosmetic dentistry, and customized approaches to periodontal care, implants and laser dentistry. Dr.
Graham is the founder of the Catapult Group, a continuing education company whose philosophy and programs use contemporary, interactive formats to integrate time-proven conservative dentistry with 21st century materials and techniques. Dr. Graham is a published author in many leading national and international
dental journals. He is a member of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Academy of General Dentistry, Chicago Dental Society and Illinois Dental Association.

President’s Message
Dr. Alan Stiles
Continued from Page 1
Continued from Page 1
step out onto the steps, look to the right, then left until she
finds me. She will smile and I will smile and try not to cry. My
holiday will be complete when Chris comes home - he will walk
in the house shouting, “Whaz up!” The house will be a buzz of
activity with all the aroma’s of the holiday – and this will be
wonderful – my favorite holiday.
I suspect when you read this message, Thanksgiving will be
around the corner. May you have a wonderful holiday with family,
friends and too many carbohydrates!

Academy of Orofacial Pain and the American Headache
