Editor's Note Carol Murphy, Executive Editor

This issue marks DentalTown Magazine's first full year of publication. As I look around our burgeoning office, I find it hard to believe how much we've grown over the past 12 months. In a time of general economic uncertainty, it certainly is encouraging to be adding staff to accommodate our continued growth.

Please join me in welcoming the newest addition to our staff, Associate Editor, Kim Crawford. Kim previously was involved with editorial production of the Arizona Dental Association's monthly journal. In addition to editorial responsibilities, we are using her expertise to begin a new classified advertising section in our magazine. Now, you can inexpensively list equipment or books no longer being used in your practice. We certainly hope you will take advantage of this new section and welcome your input to make it as efficient as possible for your needs.

As we enter the holiday season and begin another new year, I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the entire DentalTown staff, to wish you, your staff and families good health, happiness and joy throughout the coming year.

Peace be with you and yours...
