We had a blast doing our part in the fight against oral cancer. Just because its a serious challenge doesn't mean you can't do it with a smile on your face.

A special thanks to Dr. Abel, Dr. Patel, Megan, and the crew at Bethesda Chevy Chase Oral Surgery for another successful year.

To the Hoffman family, you started a very special thing. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Jane, Corydon, Kennedy, Brinley, and Emerie!

The team at the ADA convention. Education doesn’t stop when you graduate. It’s just harder to sit still!
