Friday was the 40th annual federal services national capital region dental conference at Ft. Belvoir.  The Army hosted this year, and had a great turnout.  Each year one of the services hosts it in the DC area, and all the dental officers in the area are invited to attend.  We had dentists from all the nearby Army, Airforce, and Navy bases attend  as well as dentists from the VA - 160 dentists in all.

Part of the event had 29 table clinics that were displayed by dental residents from the Navy postgraduate programs at Bethesda, Air Force residency programs at Bolling Air Force Base, and the VA.  Following lunch we had an afternoon of lectures on topics ranging from orthodontics to humanitarian relief efforts in Haiti.
