That Time of Year is Here!
The 2010 Townie Choice Awards
We all look forward to this magical time of year, when we dim
the lights, stoke the fire, pour ourselves a mug of hot cider, curl up
on the couch and, like caffeinated Tasmanian Devils, tear through
the pages of the December issue of Hygienetown Magazine to find
out which dental companies, products and services were awarded
the highly sought-after Townie Choice Awards! It's a time of mirth
and whimsy, when we all get together online afterward to debate
with friends and colleagues the final results of the most important
annual poll in dentistry. Happy holidays, indeed! Yes, friends, welcome
to the official 2010 Townie Choice Awards showcase!
You can pick up the phone and talk to a few of your dental
hygiene friends to find out what they use. You can scan the message
boards of Hygienetown.com to see what dental hygienists are
debating. But do you have the time to sift through the facts or the
arguments when you need to help place the order right now? For
seven years, the Townie Choice Awards have cut to the chase and
answered the basic root of your practice's purchasing concerns,
"What are other dental hygienists using right now?"
After months of tabulating thousands of votes cast by honest-to-
goodness, real-world, practicing dentists, we are pleased to present
the winners in each of our TCA categories – from
Anesthesiology to TMD. As in years past, in some instances, the
race to the finish was close; in others, winners were determined by
a large margin. You can find the list of runners-up as well as the
winners from the past seven years on Hygienetown.com. Thank
you for your participation and continued support of Hygienetown!
For the first time this year, TCA voters who cast
their ballot by August 7, 2010, were eligible for our
$500 early-bird drawing. Congratulations to Dr. George
Valentine of Middletown, Connecticut, for winning the
$500 Early Voter prize! Dr. Valentine began practicing
over 37 years ago and has been a member of Dentaltown since 2002.
"I feel that by participating in the Dentaltown surveys and
Townie Choice Awards, I can at least, in a small way, return something
to an organization (Dentaltown) that I feel offers the premier
forum in dentistry for active exchange of professional experiences,
ideas, concepts and solutions to the many issues and problems facing
dental providers and practices today."
