Organized dentistry has to
occupy a certain portion of
your time in dentistry. If you
really want to have a great
organization you have to be
involved. And to be involved
at that level you have to be
involved with a certain
amount of politics…That is the
only way they’re going to have
a voice. That involves a certain
amount of politics and a lot of
dentists don’t realize that until
it’s too late…Some of my
closest friends in dentistry that
I had the opportunity to meet
and to associate with in
organized dentistry were some
of my very best friends. And
they were just good people.
