In another Second Opinion, Suzanne Newkirk, RDH, focuses on the advantages that a recently defeated bill in Georgia would have offered to the state's rural and underserved population, and she hopes that the 2017 legislative session brings opportunity.
This week is Dental Assistant Recognition Week, and DrBicuspid.com is pleased to present a column by Darci Barr, educator and expert in dental assisting program design, discussing the evolution of dental assisting skills and how the growth of technology has led to advancements in the profession.

We're very excited about our upcoming Women in Dentistry conference and about the return of our March Mayhem bracket challenge, which opens on Monday, March 14. We'll be posting regular updates on both in the next weeks.
