For a man rebuilding his life after addiction, dental care can mean more than a healthier smile. It can mean relief from pain, renewed confidence and one less barrier to employment and a fresh start.

DCDS Foundation is looking for volunteer dentists willing to take one Men of Nehemiah patient per year, pro bono, and help him get the care he needs.

One patient. One year. One life changed. Could you be the dentist who says yes?

“Natural.” “Non-toxic.” “Holistic.” “Clean.”
Patients are asking more questions about fluoride, hydroxyapatite, ozone therapy and other emerging dental treatments. But how do we remain open to innovation while staying grounded in evidence?

Dr. Stephanie Bowers explores where emerging therapies show promise, where the evidence falls short, and why dentists have an important role in helping patients distinguish what is promising from what is proven.

For 33 years, Jane Evans has been part of the heart of Dallas County Dental Society — including 23 years as our Executive Director.

At this year’s Southwest Dental Conference, the DCDS Board of Directors honored Jane’s extraordinary service by naming the DCDS Executive Office in her honor. The plaque now displayed at the building recognizes Jane for her exceptional leadership and unwavering dedication to DCDS, its members and the profession of dentistry.

But a legacy like Jane’s deserves more than a plaque. It deserves a room full of the people who have been part of the journey. Please join us in wishing her a happy retirement through an Open House celebrating Jane and her 33 years of service. More info at dcds.org/events.
