Dentistry will become part of core practice."

Gatlin
Brothers to entertain at President's
Celebration
Larry,
Steve, and Rudy Gatlin started singing in their little
hometown of Abilene, Texas, and from there went on to make
music history. Over the course of a career that has
taken the Gatlin Brothers from dusty Texas stages to White
House performances, from Broadway to Grammy Awards to the
top of the country charts, there has been one unifying
element: music.
Larry
Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers have forged a new
musical standard for vocal harmony, raw talent and
showmanship while topping the music charts with hit after
hit. One of the first-class acts in Country Music,
the Gatlins have 15 Top-Five hits including their #1
hits.
AAID is
pleased to present the Gatlin Brothers at the President's
Celebration on Saturday night, November 10, 2007 during
the 56th Annual Meeting in Las Vegas.

Business
Bite
EDITOR’S
NOTE: Each issue of the AAID eGram will
provide information about the business aspects of
the practice of implant dentistry. Entitled
“Business Bite,” these will include information
that you may find useful to running your practice
more profitably.
Dentistry is a stressful
profession. Rather than treating the
symptoms of stress, it might be more useful to
find the root causes of stress, particularly
within your practice. Tyson Steele offers a
roadmap to finding the root causes of stress in
your practice and offers tips to eradicate those
cause in his article "The
'Third' Statistic."
