LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dr . Terry received two letters in response to “ For A Friend ,” his editorial in the January / February 2014 issue .
Dear Dr . Terry ,
Is it not ironic that just four pages after Dr . Bruce Terry ’ s article on the decline of organized dentistry that there is an article about the several items of legislation were brought to the Pennsylvania House and Senate ?
I wonder how many pieces of legislation would have been previously brought up and voted upon without our colleagues giving up countless hours to make our professional lives better .
To be sure , dentistry will continue to exist and patients will still continue to need our services . The problem will be how the future generations of dentists will stand up for their rights individually . It is not that dentists will be sitting and waiting for their political rights to be defended , but their priorities are different and will lead them to a different type of dedication to their profession .
David Szymanski , DDS
