"I am most looking forward to spending time outdoors at the lake with my family, the hot summer sun and not having COVID-19 be the talking point of interactions with patients."
Britton M. Marsh, D.D.S., Wyoming

"My team and I look forward to taking our portable clinic back into long-term care facilities for in-person care. While guided oral hygiene utilizing teledentistry and remote-monitored silver diamine fluoride application have been great tools during the pandemic, we miss our patients."
Brooke Fukuoka, D.M.D., Idaho

"As the summer months approach, I'm hoping to return to "normal" carne asada season with my friends and family. It’s a huge part of my Mexican heritage to get together over a nice piece of meat, with homemade guacamole and salsa. I truly hope that more of these reunions will not only be safe, but also possible."
Eddie Ramirez, D.M.D., Oregon

"I am most excited to attend national and local events, both dental-related and not. Hopefully, the vaccine will be ubiquitous come summer, and everyone will be able to resume a normal social life. I hope to see colleagues, both familiar and not, at SmileCon."
Kevin Kai, D.D.S., California
