Greetings from Hinman | Women breaking barriers | Advances in aesthetics

Dear DrBicuspid Member,

Hello everyone from the Hinman Meeting in Atlanta! It's been a great time of networking and speaking so far, with Southern hospitality certainly being shown by the amazing team that runs this meeting. If you've never been to Hinman, put it on your list for 2025. 

While I've been here, I have had numerous people talk to me about articles they have read on DrBicuspid.com. I have appreciated every bit of the kudos and comments on what we do every day to help educate our readers on a wide variety of topics. 

Among those topics this week are two articles recognizing the women who help the dental industry move forward. On World Oral Health Day, we published an article discussing why diversity is important in our industry. One day later, Beth Gaddis revealed how women are helping each other (and their businesses) in the dental service organization world. 

Did you catch what is going on with Jelly Roll and his smile? A lot of people are checking out his makeover, while others are wondering if this ingredient will usher in a new era in teeth whitening. And will artificial intelligence (AI) play a big role in orthodontics soon? Don't be surprised if straighter teeth are helped by AI. 

One of our most popular articles this week discussed how gold may decimate oral bacteria. Another article that was popular among readers was a new toothbrush design that raised some eyebrows recently in Chicago. 

I’m heading back into the Hinman lecture hall, but I wanted to end this note by thanking you for reading DrBicuspid.com. Keep the comments coming!
