What have we been up to?

Hello Everyone,

This is Dr. Tim. I am one of the pediatric dentists at Affiliated Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. Welcome to our Blog. I want to share with you some exciting things we have been up to the past year.

This September was the Arizona Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's Fall meeting. I am currently the Secretary/Treasurer for the academy and arranged for internationally known, Dr. Kevin Donly to speak to our members. Dr. Chaet also gave a presentation on new technologies for restoration.





Dr. Chaet recently spoke with the family practitioner residents at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn. He spoke with them about the importance of baby oral health and fluoride varnish. The residence valued his presentation so much that he has been asked to come back to speak again.





In June, I drove to Tucson and met with a number of Arizona Academy of Pediatric Dentistry members. We had dinner and discussed many issues relevant to improving the oral health care of children in Arizona.



Dr. Julie, Lesley and myself traveled to Sedona and presented an educational poster to the American Academy of Pediatrics Arizona Chapter. This meeting was the Arizona AAP's annual convention. Our presentation included educational information on infant oral hygiene and fluoride varnish applications. The doctors were well received and look forward to attending the meeting again next year. Here we are with Dr. Ron Fischler, who is the President for the Arizona AAP.

This past April, I was joined by Dr. Feinberg, Nancy and Lisa at the Doll House's Safety Saturday. The Doll House is a toy store located in the Promenade at Scottsdale Road and Frank Lloyd Wright. Police cruisers, fire trucks and kids were in abundance. Fire properly checked and buckled car seats for parents, while APDO gave out toothbrushes, stickers and toys.

Our lead assistant, Nancy, painted children's faces. Do you like the sun on my face?










Halloween 2008 spooked Dr. Julie, Lisa and myself. We were hanging out at Desert Sun's Fall Festival. I lurked behind the bean bag toss. We gave prizes to pixie hollow fairies, zombies, robots and more. I am the one dressed as Cat in the Hat. My daughter Ally was Cinderella. Nancy's husband Doug, made our tooth shaped board. While Nancy sewed together Star Wars bean bags for the toss.
