In honor of those who gave all — Today we remember and are grateful.

From all of us at the Texas Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Your TAPD membership does more than connect you to Texas's pediatric dental community — it saves you money while keeping you at the top of your clinical game.

In 2026 alone, TAPD members save $400+ on CE registration compared to non-member rates. That's more than the cost of membership, before you've counted a single other benefit.

This year's courses cover topics like:
🦷 Procedural sedation risk mitigation ("Sealing the Swiss Cheese")
💊 Evidence-based antibiotics, analgesics & emergency drug updates
⚖️ Lawsuit protection & asset management for pediatric dentists

CE that's clinically relevant, practically useful — and more affordable when you're a member.

This year, TAPD is offering not one, but TWO sedation-focused CE courses with Dr. Bobby Thikkurissy of Cincinnati Children's Hospital. This unique duo of courses are designed to work together as a two-part learning experience — and we'd love for you to attend both!

🖥️ Course 1 | Virtual CE
We are the Cheesemakers 2026: Mitigating Risk and Maximizing Safety
📅 May 16, 2026 | 9:00–11:00AM CT | Via Zoom

🏛️ Course 2 | In-Person Full Day CE
Sealing the Swiss Cheese: Global Assessment and Mitigation of Risk in Procedural Sedation and In-Office General Anesthesia
📅 October 2, 2026 | Austin, TX | 8 CE Credits

These courses are intentionally designed as a pair — not a repeat of the same material. The May virtual course focuses specifically on medication classes and associated risks, while the October course zooms out to address the full picture of sedation safety and real-world decision making.And as a bonus, the October course takes place in Austin during Austin City Limits weekend! 🎶

➡Registration is open for both!
