2019 SWDC Welcome to the 2019 Southwest Dental Conference Inspired . Empowered . Equipped CELEBRATING A MESSAGE FROM TODD M. BAUMANN, DDS, MS T he Dallas County Dental Society welcomes you to the 92 nd annual Southwest Dental Conference! We are excited to share with you a program that offers not only compelling research, but also motivation and practical strategies. Two events take precedence in Dallas this time of year: the Southwest Dental Conference, a premier annual meeting of dental excellence; and the Red River Shootout, a premier annual meeting of Texas-Oklahoma football! In the rivalry football game, two storied college teams face off. Both programs are in the top six nationwide in all-time wins. For these teams, winning is not just an aspiration – it’s an expectation! Their success is founded on the commitment of coaches and players to a common goal, a shared confidence that they will win and months upon months of training. For elite dental teams, a winning record means providing excep- tional care for patients. Like success on the field, success in den- tistry requires the same foundation – the dental team must embrace a common goal, share the will to achieve, and contin- ually enhance their skills and abilities through training. The 2019 Southwest Dental Conference will provide outstand- ing opportunities to grow in these areas and optimize your team for success. Our hope is that you will leave this year’s conference “Inspired, Empowered, Equipped.” During these two days, the Southwest Dental Conference will inspire you with new ideas, unique approaches and the latest research and innovation in dentistry. Renowned speakers will empower you through engaging, compelling presentations. And world-class continuing education – whether speaker lectures, hands-on courses or interactive seminars – will equip each member of your team with the skills and resources to excel. More than 250 booths and vendors will utilize Exhibit Hall C to educate attendees on the latest products and services they have to offer. It’s a great opportunity to interact one-on-one with vendors. Special conference pricing is available as well. So once again, welcome! We encourage you to have fun, enjoy the meeting, connect with peers, and get ready to be Inspired, Empowered, and Equipped!
