NPAW™ is approximately two months away: March 7-13, 2010! As you know NPAW™ is a campaign to raise public awareness about the critical importance of a healthy mouth and the valuable role that prosthodontists play on the dental team. What are your plans? Here are some ideas that can be found here: (link-www.prosthodontics.org/npaw)
-
Contact organizations you are a member of and ask if you can give a short presentation about the importance of maintaining a healthy mouth. Work your sphere of influence! (Rotary, Kiwanis, etc.)
-
Order ACP brochures and stamp your office information in the space provided; there are new brochures for Oral Cancer, and TMJ/TMD; we also have our most popular brochures now available in Spanish. Hand them out at your events.
What are members doing to spread the word about NPAW™ and prosthodontics? Dr. Brandon James of Prairie Village, KS gave a presentation to UMKC, School of Dentistry third and forth year students about prosthodontics on Dec. 2. He shared clinical cases from his practice and spoke about prosthodontics as a rewarding career option.
Make sure you let your Section President or Regional Director know what you're planning. Let's spread the word about prosthodontics!
