Larimer County Dental Society

Larimer County Dental Society LCDS is a local chapter of the CDA which is an organization that strives to advance dentistry and oral health in Colorado. Livingston was elected president .

History of LCDS
Early dentists came to Larimer county for various reasons: prospecting, mining, get-rich-quick schemes, climate and health, for legitimate practice and some were born here. Thirteen dentists formed the Fort Collins Dental Association on August 11, 1908, the first association to be organized in the state outside of Denver. They soon realized there were other eligible dentists in the

country who could benefit by and contribute to the society. On November 2, 1909, the Larimer County Dental Society was formed at a dinner at the Northern Hotel where Dr. Howard J. The purpose of the organization was to cooperate with the Denver Society and the State Board of Dental Examiners to exclude the illegal practitioners from the state, to uphold the high standards of the profession, etc. They offered free dental examinations to grade school children. The minutes of this association were missing until January 1926 when the minutes of the FCDA were interspersed with the minutes of the LCDS. Apparently both continued to meet together and also separately. On December 7, 1926 the FCDA applied to the Colorado Dental Association for membership and was accepted. On January 24, 1927 they moved to adopt the constitution and bylaws of the CDA and ADA. The first lady dentist in the county (1902-1910) was not a member of the society. Sixty six years later, the first female was accepted for membership. Continuing education has been an important part of the society from its beginning. Early members demonstrated some idea or technique they had used or developed in this pioneering stage of the profession. In the 1920's and the 1930's clinicians came mostly from Denver. Current programs are varied with clinicians, political action programs, and scientific and material updates. The American Association of Orthodontists was organized July 16-19, 1929 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, but Larimer County did not have an orthodontist until 1956.

We are looking for someone interested in becoming the new secretary for the Larimer County Dental Society. This is a great way to get involved at the local level, get to know the community better and to serve you local chapter. It is a 4 year commitment with 2 years as secretary, 1 year as VP and 1 year as president.

If you are interested in filling the position or would like to nominate someone, please respond to [email protected] no later than April 28th. Once all nominations are received we will hold an e-vote.

Also, we STILL NEED CDA DELEGATES. As a reminder CDA'a annual meeting will be in beautiful Vail June 9-11. We need 7 more Delegates to attend the House of Delegates meeting on Saturday, June 10th. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the legislative process in our great state, and to have a chance to vote on behalf of the membership on important regulatory issues. You will also be able to enjoy some great CE and a little mountain getaway during a great time of year in Colorado!

Please consider volunteering your time to benefit the Society. We can also designate people as Alternate Delegates, which gives you the opportunity to attend the meeting but not vote, unless one of the original delegates cannot fulfill their attendance.

Additionally, there is a cost offset for lodging expenses for first-time attendees who have been out of school for less than 5 years. This is definitely a nice benefit for those who are interested in getting involved in organized dentistry, but haven't had a chance yet.

Please respond ASAP if you are able to serve as delegate.

Thanks!
