Dr Terry has made it his mission to place a copy of the new edition in every dental school in the country so that all dental students would have access to it. He rallied support and was able to get over 50 books donated to dental schools, each of which he signed this past week at Quintessence. If you want a signed copy for your library, this is your last chance because there are only 20 still available! Please call Quintessence at (800)621-0387 to order by phone if you are interested in getting one of the last remaining signed copies.<\/p>\n

Dr Terry also worked on his upcoming children\u2019s book, Dental Care for Children: All About Healthy Teeth and Gums<\/i>, while in the office. When asked why he wrote the book, Dr Terry responded that \u201cchildren become adults, so we need to teach them about periodontal disease and how to avoid it.\u201d He added that \u201ca picture\u2019s worth a thousand words, so why not show kids what happens when they don\u2019t take care of their teeth?\u201d Dr Terry sees the book as a tool for dentists and parents to educate their children about dental hygiene, and it will cater to children between the ages of 5 and 14.<\/p>\n

One thing you might not know about Dr Terry is that he\u2019s part of a group called Texans for Dental Reform<\/a>. Overtreatment and Medicaid fraud are big issues in Texas (as in other parts of the country), and Dr Terry and his group fight against what he calls \u201cdollar-driven dentistry\u201d to promote good dentistry and ethics in the industry. He says that \u201cit\u2019s criminal to overtreat anyone,\u201d which is why he takes part in the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners meetings.
