April President's Message - Dr. J. Perry Ormiston



Dear Members,

As we continue navigating these unprecedented times, the world around us seems more chaotic than ever before. Each day, we face new challenges, be it in our personal lives, within our practices, or in the broader global landscape. During moments like this, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but it’s also the perfect time for us to reflect, reconnect with our values, and rediscover the purpose that brings us all together as dental professionals.

In these trying times, it’s important to remember the power of remaining calm. As we adapt to rapid changes, the stability we provide for our patients and communities is more essential than ever. We must not lose sight of the core values that make us healers, educators, and advocates for our patients’ well-being. Practicing patience, understanding, and empathy—both with our patients and within ourselves—will go a long way in bringing a sense of peace and stability.

One of the biggest temptations during times of uncertainty is the urge to succumb to greed. In the pursuit of financial security, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters—our patients and their care. It is crucial that, as dental professionals, we remain vigilant against allowing greed to cloud our judgment. The well-being of our patients should always come first. By prioritizing quality care over profit-driven decisions, we not only uphold the integrity of our profession, but we also build trust and long-lasting relationships with those we serve.

The true value of our profession lies not in how much we gain but in how much we give. Generosity, compassion, and dedication to serving others should be at the heart of everything we do. In times of turbulence, it’s important that we embrace these principles, remembering that our work is not just about fixing teeth, but about improving lives.

As we continue to navigate this chaotic world, we should be a calming presence for those around us. Let us lead by example in fostering a profession grounded in ethics, compassion, and mutual respect. Together, we can face the future with calm determination, providing our communities with not only the best dental care, but also a sense of stability and hope.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the dental profession and to the well-being of those we serve.

Warm regards,
Perry Ormiston
President, Pierce County Dental Society
