Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation at the National Primary Oral Health Care Conference. You really exposed our members to the newest technology with the Perioscope, and your protocols for non-surgical management can be readily put into practice by attendees. Thanks again for your "on target" presentation. — Juris Svarcbergs, DMD, MPH
I recently had the pleasure of attending an educational and lively presentation provided by Suzanne Newkirk, RDH, during the 2014 Star of The South Dental Meeting in Houston, Texas. The wealth of knowledge Suzanne provided on instrumentation and the dental endoscope was extremely educational. As dental hygienists we were challenged to think outside the box and keeping up with new technology to assist our skills as hygienists is essential for delivering quality care to our patients. Suzanne provided an educational and innovative presentation that every hygienist could incorporate into their daily hygiene practice. I look forward to attending more continuing education presentations by this super dental hygienist. — Betty Haynes, RDH, Houston, Texas
