Editor’s Letter

Change is coming to the Texas Dental Journal—can you spot it?

Over the past 4 months, a task force has been working to reimagine the TDJ. The group explored the perceived value of the Journal, decided on categories of content, considered publication manner, timing and frequency, and restructured editorial support.

As their work nears completion, the fun part is really just beginning! The TDJ will take on a fresh new look over the next few months. I’m incredibly grateful to work with an amazing and talented publications team at the TDA—Lee Ann Johnson (Director of Member Services), Nicole Scott (Managing Editor) and Barbara Donovan (Art Director). Together, we will experiment…with everything from colors and font size/ style to layout and presentation—all while continuing to provide you with content you can use in your professional, and sometimes personal, life.

Here’s a hint of a piece in this issue that explores some ideas for change —this article comes with a “growl of appreciation”.

Can you see the changes? Let us know what you think. We are listening! Jacqueline Plemons, DDS, MS
