- 22. Feedback “I am beyond impressed by the quality of work that I saw having never worked around a dental therapist. Wow, you folks are awesome!” “The group had a great dynamic, worked well together, and did a great job. I left with a feeling of satisfaction, especially considering this was an inaugural event” “Greatest event I have ever participated in and I am still giddy about what was accomplished. We need to do this again!” “Interprofessionalism and collaboration- a winning combination for this event!”
