Soccer Dentist
Our friend Jander Ruela de Cuiabá informs that a dentist from Copacabana, Mauricio Assumpção Souza Jr., is now chairman of the famous Botafogo Football and Regattas Club. He will lead the Brazilian national soccer team on their next trip. If you know of dentists who are successful in other activities contact www.bfr.com.br and send a newsbrief.

Dental 3D site
The son of our friend Nelson Tomaz LaScala, Cicero attended my practice management course last Friday on Dent TV, where he announced the new internet site about holistic treatment he is launching. It's the first dental site in 3D, which is now running as beta test. Check it out at www.holisticalascala.com.br

Friend or villain?
My patient, friend or villain? This is a book that addresses the importance of interpersonal relationships between dentists and patients. The author, Elionai Dias Soares, examines controversial issues and provides practical tips and strategies focused on dentistry. The chapters are illustrated with cartoon drawings, which makes it fun to read. www.elionaisoares.com.br

Fernanda Cardoso
The dentist and now model posed in a photo spread for an ad campaign for a swimwear brand. The VP of BBB 10 posed in bikini at a club in Campinas, São Paulo. Her smile is so perfect that it should be adopted as a model for dentistry. www.fernandacardoso.com.br

Dentist in Haiti
Paulo Guimaraes, who was with the UN mission in Haiti on the day of the earthquake and later worked to rescue victims, invites you to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Funding of the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Technique (CPR). Studies have shown that the most important factor for survival of sudden death is the presence of a trained rescuer. So join the CPR course by the Emergency Rescue Group in Brasilia and other cities. pauloguimaraes@gre.com.br

Candidate dentist
Checking the outcome of the elections for Paraná State Representative, I found one candidate that is a dentist but unfortunately got few votes, probably because colleagues didn't know about his candidacy. The movement "Abra a Boca Brasil" (Open Your Mouth Brazil) helps dental leaders who run for political office to be heard and voted for. www.abraabocabrasil.com.br

Dentists vote
The Dental Surgeons Association of Campinas (ACDC) sent an e-mail asking members to vote in the elections. The initiative, which joins colleagues with common interests, should become something regular for dentists. I would like to recognize dentists elected for state office, so please contact me with the information.
