It is my privilege to extend a warm welcome to the 34th Annual Greater Long Island Dental Meeting. Welcome to the new millennium.
Every new beginning comes from another beginnings end.
We need to look forward, not back. Great opportunities and many challenges lie ahead. Never in the history of our profession have dentist had to confront so many critical issues such as managed care, dental managed service organizations, the escalating cost and economic burdens of maintaining an office, and increased government regulations. It is our responsibility to shape our professions future. If we do not take the initiative, those outside of dentistry will.
