A Letter from DC Dental Society President Julian Moiseiwitsch, DBS, PhD
Dr. Julian Moiseiwitsch
Dear Colleagues: As summer slowly wanes, the Society is gearing up for autumn and many exciting events and opportunities for members to interact with one another. We’ll be kicking off the 2015-2016 DCDS Educational Program Series on Tuesday, September 8th at the Westin Georgetown. Join us as we welcome speaker Dr. Asgeir Sigurdsson, whose presentation Dental Trauma: Diagnosis and Emergency Treatment Modalities will discuss the importance of understanding diagnosis and emergency treatment of the most common dental injuries. The meeting will begin at 5:45 p.m. and conclude with dinner. Members planning to attend the September meeting should RSVP before noon on Tuesday, September 8th either online or by phone at (202) 367-1163. I look forward to seeing old friends, as well as welcoming new faces to this month’s meeting.
We are seeking a few members to serve as greeters at the September 8th meeting to welcome attendees. If you’re interested in this volunteer opportunity, please reach out to the DCDS Business Office. The complete listing of 2015-2016 monthly meeting dates, speakers and topics is available to view and download to your digital calendars via the DC Dental Society website. For those wishing to obtain print labels of the 2015-2016 DCDC Educational Program Series, copies will be available at the registration desk onsite, as well as by contacting the DCDS Business Office.

Foundation Needs Members to Serve as Mentors Due to high demand, the DCDS Foundation is looking for additional members to volunteer their time and serve as
mentors to students from the Howard University College of Dentistry. The responsibilities of a mentor include
establishing regular communications with the student, delivering information on organized dentistry and the Society’s
activities, inviting and accompanying the student to DCDS meetings and activities, being a positive, ethical role model,
inviting the student to the mentor’s office to observe, reinforcing the importance of organized dentistry, and if possible,
inviting the student to at least one non-professional activity (home, club, social, recreational, sports, etc.) each year. Full
details about the program are available on the DCDS Foundation website. If you are interested in volunteering to be a
mentor, please contact the DC Dental Society office at (202) 367-1163 or via email at [email protected].

ADA Joins AMA Task Force to Reduce Opioid Abuse The ADA has joined the American Medical Association (AMA) Task Force to Reduce Opioid Abuse, and its first initiative is
to urge health care professionals to register for and use state-based prescription drug monitoring programs.
The task force is comprised of 27 physician organizations, 17 specialty and seven medical societies that are committed to
identifying and implementing the best practices to combat this public health crisis. The task force believes that when
prescription drug monitoring programs are fully funded, contain relevant clinical information and are available at the
point of care, they have been shown to be an effective tool to help health care providers identify patients who may be
misusing opioids.
More than 16,000 Americans died in 2013 from an overdose related to opioids; more than 8,000 died from one related
to heroin; and nearly 44,000 died as a result of an overdose involving a prescription drug, according to the task force.
"As health care professionals, we're on the front lines of this issue and see how it causes devastating destruction for
every life that it touches," said ADA President Maxine Feinberg. "Together, we can harness the collective power of
preventative education and intervention to help reverse this epidemic. The ADA stands firmly behind this task force."
