President's Letter - 2023-2024

As fall settles in we would like to welcome you back to another great year ahead in York Region. The YRDS executive board has been working hard to put together a packed calendar of events that are aimed not only at dentists, but their staff and families. We are there for everyone!

We start this year off with our full day Core 1 lecture on October 20. The well-known sisters Drs. Kristina and Susanne Perschbacher will be lecturing for 6CE credits on Oral Medicine, Pathology and Radiology including a brand-new lecture called BoosterShot. It’s expected to sell out! In the new year, we will have our annual ODA/RCDSO evening lecture paired with the pediatric lecture: “Saving Smiles: Mastering Dental Trauma”. Dr. Nik Sharma’s webinars were quite popular during the pandemic, and we are excited to have him lecture for us in person. Lastly, we have a novel subject for our April evening lecture – Dr. Sidney Lesser is a chiropractor who will teach us about how to diagnose and handle TMJ issues. We are very excited to bring you a wide variety of subjects close to home!

On the social side, we are excited to host a Family Movie Matinee in November where we will show the The Marvels soon after it opens in theatres! This year our Annual Holiday Party will be held at The Ontario Science Centre in December. The future of the Science Centre is up in the air, so come out and party in its current location while you still can. It is sure to be an event of the year! Heading into 2024, we have our popular events – CPR in January and Family Skating in March. Be sure to register early as they always sell out.

I am very proud of our executive board who work hard to organize these events and make sure our members have a great experience. We are always happy to have volunteers join our efforts - why not come out and learn what we do and work with other like-minded colleagues to make a difference for the York Region dental community!

I look forward to seeing you at our events! Feel free to reach out to us at yrds.ca if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Dr. Waseema Ali
York Region Dental Society President, 2023-2024
