News
and Notes
| Region 7 Trustee
Report Ted Reese, DDS, MAGD, LLSR 
|
I am happy to report favorable
news for the Academy’s efforts on several fronts. First and foremost, our Academy
of General Dentistry will become better known and recognized among the general
population due to our involvement in the National AD Council campaign,
“Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives”. This
campaign is sponsored by the Dental Trade Alliance, which is a nonprofit agency.
Although this effort involves the financial support of several dental
alliances such as the ADA, AAP, our involvement is crucial to keep our
organization and members in the limelight as dental care providers.
The intended results are not to necessarily drive patients to our
offices, but rather to focus attention on the importance of home health care,
and professional dental care among the lower income families of our country.
Focus will be on the preventative care that should be provided for
children and the benefits of the improved lifestyle afforded by being free of
dental disease. The roll out date of
these ad’s has not been identified, but I would expect we should be seeing and
hearing from this effort within the year. |

Regional Director's
Message
By: Hans Guter DDS
Greetings! I am Hans Guter your regional director. I feel compelled to explain to you what the duties of the regional director are. While this position is a national one my main goal is to work with the constituencies within our region, region 7. So I am a conduit of communication from national to both Ohio and Indiana and vice versa. One of the main functions I have is to ensure that the constituency boards are functioning to their best potential as far as officers, committees, continuing education, etc. are concerned.
As I do with the boards that I work with I encourage all our members to use your state and national web pages as avenues of communication. Both states are in constant need of enthusiastic members who want to share their skills with us. Become involved at the state level and look at the national web page for what is known as “a call for volunteers”. While I encourage you to become involved at any level please know that starting at a state level is the best portal of entry.
Please support your constituency’s continuing education courses, visit us at our board meetings or communicate with any of us about questions, concerns or interests you might have. I wish for all of you a very healthy and successful
2013.
Hans Guter DDS Regional Director
