Annual Gala Extravaganza 2017

CCDSBC-ADMIN Gala Extravaganza ,

The Theme for The 29th Annual Gala Extravaganza: Tropical Paradise

Date and venue: July 8th, 2017 at Hyatt Regency downtown Vancouver

This year you will be taken to a “Tropical Paradise” with Polynesian and Fire Dancers!

The Chinese Canadian Dental Society of BC would like to invite you to join us in celebrating our 29th Annual Gala Dinner Extravaganza on Saturday, July 8 at the elegant Hyatt Regency Vancouver.

 

It has been another busy and successful year for CCDSBC and the time has come to celebrate the progress of our on-going mission to promote and improve the oral health in our community. Our Annual Gala is a well-established and sought after event in which we get together for an evening of great camaraderie, fantastic food, exquisite wine, and remarkable entertainment.

 

Since our inception in 1988, CCDSBC has undertaken the task of encouraging its members to contribute to the community, and promote communication and cooperation with other organizations. Over the years we have raised funds for: Bursaries & Endowment Funds at UBC, VGH Dental Clinic, UBC Dentistry and the Mobile Community Dental Clinic, and BC Oral Cancer Prevention Program.

 

The beneficiary for 2017 will be the Villa Cathay Care Home. The residents have complex care needs and can no longer remain safely in their own home and require 24 hour supervised care. Funds raised will help to establish a dental operatory managed by the UBC Dentistry Geriatric Program who will be providing treatment in an environment that feels safe and familiar to the long term care residents. The operatory will be also used by other geriatric healthcare professionals.

 

With plenty of door prizes and auction items, arrive early to view the latest Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and take pictures of the great décor and hostesses in Polynesian costumes.

 

Hoping you will join us for a memorable evening!

Fees: Free (member) $100 (non-member) *

Objective: This presentation will initially review the traditional concept of peri-implant disease, including evidence-based risk factors. Furthermore, it will explore a newer theory, deepening our understanding of this perplexing phenomenon of bone loss around dental implants. Ultimately, the objective is to use the current science and clinical experience to provide an objective system for clinical management of peri-implant disease in our practices. Several clinical cases will be shown to highlight all concepts.

Synopsis:  Do you or someone you know suffer from headaches, migraines, or other head pain?  Well you are not alone. Statistics Canada reports that a conservative estimate of 2.7 million Canadians suffer from diagnosed migraines.  The imbalance of forces that results in chronic pain and dysfunction in the head and neck area is termed dentomandibular sensorimotor dysfunction (DMSMD).  Caused by misalignment in the skull and mandible, it can result in problems with bite force, muscles, and joint balance.  We are going to explore the cause and effects of injuries on chronic head pain, and why dentists are the best and only health practitioner that can offer the comprehensive treatment for these patients.
The Clinician: Dr. Cheng Lun Wang, DDS, MSc, FRCD(C), is a Canadian Board Certified Specialist in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, and a member of American Lingual Orthodontic Association, and European Lingual Society of Orthodontists.  He is currently appointed as clinical assistant professor, graduate orthodontics program, at the University of British Columbia.  For the past 20 years, Dr. Wang has been in private practice with a particular interest in esthetic orthodontic treatment, featuring labial, lingual, and Invisalign treatment.  In 2003, Dr. Wang opened the BC Head Pain Institute to aid patients suffering from chronic pain in the head, jaw, teeth, and neck.
