Another school year has gone for some of us and another year of summer vacations have arrived for most of us. This is a great time of year. The rain has finally stopped long enough to enjoy the birds, flowers and sunshine. Now, the question is will the job market pick up? We have been getting more calls, but from past experience I know this goes in spurts, some days it is good and others there is nothing.
It appears the dental profession is still suffering for the current economic crises. I am still hearing from many of you that hours are cut and days are being taken away due to lack of patients. What I can recommend is that you make sure all your paper work is current in the DPPS database. DPPS should have your cell phone number (we send out text messages) and make sure you are registered to receive job blasters via e-mail. If all this is done, then you are ready to go, and once we do have placements you will receive notice depending on what communication
avenue(s) you have chosen.
Most offices today are going a little farther to find the best price for dental products. DPPS, Inc. has now opened a dental product store that can be viewed on-line. The store is still in its infancy and DPPS is still gathering some pictures of dental products, however, if you take a second and check us out, you will find the same products you now purchase at a much lesser price. Why? We ship direct and there is no middle-man. If you have any questions or feel more comfortable ordering by phone, just call DPPS at 708-535-9545 and we will help. You can find this store under dental products to your left.
Looking ahead please remember the requirements needed for your license renewal will be due in September. All information is under continuing ed to your left. If you need continuing education hours DPPS will be hosting a seminar on September 19, 2009 at the Renaissance Hotel in Oak Brook, IL. This seminar is sponsored by Ultradent. You can accumulate between 3.0 to 6.0 CEU’S and apply them towards the 2009 licensure requirements. Yes, the CEU’s for September 19th can be used for this year’s licensure renewal. After September 30, 2009 you must start over.
DPPS is taking every effort to make continuing education hours as affordable as possible and with the help of the September sponsor, Ultradent this is possible. Check out the registration prices under continuing education. Seats are still available but limited.
Mark your calendars now for Sunday March 14, 2010. DPPS will start the new licensure requirements off with our sponsor, Philips Oral Healthcare-Sonicare, Because of the continual commitment of Sonicare and the special efforts of Gail Stoops RDH, BSDH, Sr. Manager of Professional Relations at Sonicare, DPPS, Inc. will be able to offer the March 14, 2010 Convention at a great registration price. I personally would like to “Thank” Gail and Philips Oral Healthcare-Sonicare for their support.
More information about the March 14, 2010 DPPS Convention will be available very soon so keep watching the website.
So as you can read DPPS is continually trying to support dental professionals and dental offices. We are committed to doing what it takes to get through these economic times and to also help you. If you need any type of placement(s), continuing education hours, or dental products, DPPS is only a phone call away. We look forward to working with you and paving a path to new opportunities.
Kathy Karwoski, RDH
DPPS, Inc. President
P.S. A CPR course may be offered in March 2010 if we have enough participants. If you need CPR renewal next year and would like to take the course please call so we can put you on a list.
If you are a RDH and need continuing education hours, please note that the September 19, 2009 DPPS Fall Seminar will count towards 2009 license renewal. You must have a current CPR card and 36 CEU’s by September 30, 2009 for licensure renewal. |

Thank you DDS, Inc. for your March 29, 2009 Convention Sponsorship.
