The winds of change have come upon dentistry. Generational shifts in our workforce, a rise in health care consumerism, and changing practice modalities are among the many factors shifting the landscape of our profession. As I begin my term as the American Dental Association’s (ADA’s) 159th president, I am reminded of an oft-recited saying: “We cannot change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails to always reach our destination.”
