The Argyles are one of Texas’ premier event bands. They have headlined the stage for national organizations, and have opened shows for such performers as The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Producers, and Lee Greenwood. The event is FREE for all convention attendees, just be sure to bring along your SWDC badge for admission to the party.

Convention attendees should not delay in getting their hotel reservations taken care of well in advance, in order to not miss out on the best hotel prices while attending the conference. Hotel rooms in local Dallas hotels fill up months in advance of the convention, making it difficult for attendees to get the best hotel rates at hotels closest to the convention center.

New Dental Blog Discovery

Since beginning this dental blog journey, I’ve been searching high and low for other dental blogs that offer a variety of topics relating to the dental industry. Just the other day I came across The Dental Implant Blog, and it’s author Teresa Duncan.

I was quite impressed with Teresa’s qualifications and experience, and look forward to following along with her informative posts, as well as searching out other dental blogs to share with my readers. Having found only a small number of dental blogs while searching online, it is of great importance to me to share my knowledge and experience in the Dental Industry, as well as personal perspective and observations of various treatment options and products available to patients.

I was shocked to read Teresa’s article about a Dental Office Manager Charged With Embezzling Over $40,000., as it amazes me that anyone would even consider doing such a horrific thing. I have been in the Dental Industry for many years, as an Office Manager and as a Registered Dental Assistant, and it has never once crossed my mind to steal from my employer.

I have worked for the same dentist for nearly fifteen years now, and we have established such a close relationship over the years that we not only have a Boss/Employee relationship, but one of friendship as well. For gosh sakes, my boss walked me down the aisle when I married my husband a few years ago because of our close relationship. I cannot imagine ever doing anything, or even consider doing something that would show such utter disrespect to my boss and friend.

I look forward to bringing you, my readers, informative dental-related articles and hope you will not only enjoy them but also contribute to the discussion by leaving your on-topic comments. If you haven’t yet subscribed to Dental Aggregate, please consider doing so now.
