“Do you want someone making regulations regarding the practice of dentistry who has no training or scientific knowledge of dentistry?”

Dentalproceduresthatjustifyprophylaxis(andthenonlyinhighestriskpatients)arethosethatinvolvemanipulationofgingivaltissues,orperiapicalregionsofteeth(cleaning,extractions,sutureremoval,biopsies,placementoforthodonticbands)orperforationoftheoralmucosa,butnotroutineanestheticinjections,dentalradiographs,adjustmentoforthodonticappliances,orplacementoforthodonticbracketsorprostheticappliances. The adult dosage of oral antimicrobials (administered 30-60 minutes prior to dental procedures) is:Amoxicillin,2gm;cephalexin,2gm;clindamycin,600mg;orazithromycinorclarithromycin,500mg.

A Season of Caring and Giving Back to the Community

Thank you Capital Area Dental Society! As we enter the holiday season, the Capital Area Dental Foundation (CADF) would like to offer a special thanks to the members, leadership and staff of the Capital Area Dental Society (CADS). As many of you may know, CADF was formed as an offshoot of the CADS in 2010 to focus exclusively on fundraising and providing charitable dental care in our five-county service area. What you may not know was that CADS and its devoted leaders served as true role models as we made our way from merely an idea to an independent, non-profit organization with its own staff, web site and fabulous annual Gala. Thank you for all you do! The CADF Hollywood and Casino Night Gala: February 16, 2013 at the Four Seasons

A special thanks to Kim and Tom Wicheta, DDS, for serving as Honorary Chairs of the 2013 Gala,

CADF’s largest and most important fundraiser of the year. For more information about the Gala, sign up for CADF updates at: www.capitalareadentalfoundation.org
