3 ALUNI NOWwith Catrise Austi, DD here s a good reaso why LC Detal (GPR 9) graduate Dr. Catrise Austi is ofte called Detist to the tars. Her clietele icludes musicias, actors, comedias, jouralists, models, beauty pageat cotestats, ad professioal athletes. he boutique New York-based detal practice she fouded--new York City Cosmetic ad Geeral Detistry (formerly VIP miles)-is located o th treet i the heart of ahatta ad offers a full rage of diagostic, prevetive, maiteace, ad restorative detistry services. Dr. Austi has achieved a certai level of celebrity status i her ow right. he is the author of a detal cosumer book, teps to the Hollywood A-List mile. Also a professioal speaker o matters of detal health, she has bee featured i a variety of media outlets ragig from Glamour magazie to the Good orig America show. I her biography o the Website historymakers.com, Dr. Austi traces her passio for detistry to the age of, whe she visited a orthodotist for braces. he was voted prettiest smile i 9 whe she received her high school diploma from lit Cetral High chool i ichiga. Dr. Austi wet o to receive a B.A. degree i psychology from the Uiversity of ichiga i 99 ad a Doctorate i detal surgery from the Uiversity of arylad i 99. he moved to New York i 99 ad wet o to complete her GPR traiig at Brookly s Luthera edical Ceter. he LC Detal Residecy program was a great steppig stoe to startig my ow practice. Whe I had completed detal school, I still felt like a studet, but after my GPR residecy program I felt like a doctor, Dr. Austi said. or example, at detal school we had three hours allocated to do a cleaig, but the real-time pace of workig at a hospital with LC helped me gai cliical skills ad lear to maage patiet time. he oe year I ivested with LC built my cofidece ad experiece to start my ow practice ad deliver quality care to my patiets. Dr. Austi is a strog believer that detal professioals should play a pivotal role i screeig for health-related coditios such as hypertesio, oral cacer, HIV durig routie detal care. I 009, she made history as the first private detist i the atio to offer HIV testig to patiets durig routie detal care. ice detal school, I ve always had a iterest i the topic of HIV. As a matter of fact, my seior presetatio was o he Hidde Populatio: HIV i the id-life ad Elderly Populatio, wrote Dr. Austi i a article o this topic. I wo several awards o this presetatio maily because it highlighted the surprisig fact that NO ONE is exempt from this disease, ot eve the elderly. As Austi explais i her press kit, the oral cavity is oe of several places where HIV ifectio is foud, so detists have a uique opportuity to scree for sigs of HIV ad icorporate rapid HIV testig i their daily practice. Other iovative ideas for which Dr. Austi s practice is kow iclude the cocept of Cocierge Detistry, which provides / mobile detistry services tailored to the eeds of busy high profile cliets, as well as virtual video ad phoe cosultatios. Of course, Dr. Austi does ot cater to celebrities, exclusively! As the Website for her practice makes clear, her true goal is to empower ad educate ALL about the importace of detal health, oral hygiee. he beefits of detistry ca ot oly make you look ad feel better, but ow studies show that it ca help save your life ad live loger.

6 Dr. Ayre loves childre! A father of six (three grow/three still at home) who provides his ow childre s detal care, he says, I ejoy doig what I believe is best for kids. Although they may ot always uderstad it, I kow I am doig somethig very valuable for their health ad well beig. Ad, kids are vibrat. I love the fact that may will give me a hug at the ed of a log ad challegig procedure, whether they ejoyed it or ot. hat iocece is priceless. I had a colleague (who does ot ejoy workig with childre) oce say to me, God bless you for treatig childre (ad I believe God does). y reply to him was, God bless you for treatig adults. REIDEN ROUND with Joh Ayre, DD J oh Ayre s LC Detal Pediatric Detistry traiig started off with a bag. I his very first week at hree Lower Couties Commuity ervices i Pricess Ae, arylad, he ecoutered his most challegig ad satisfyig case. I July 00, a youg boy with a broke tooth preseted to the detal staff. With the ecouragemet ad assistace of attedig faculty, Dr. Ayre repaired the immature broke tooth via a experimetal edodotic procedure called pulp regeeratio. his procedure was way outside my comfort zoe. I had t eve performed a root caal treatmet i years! explaied Dr. Ayre, who owed his ow detal practice for years i alt Lake City, Utah, before movig to arylad for Pediatric Detistry residecy traiig with LC Detal. Havig great metors ad seeig the success of the procedure has bee a thrill. Also, participatig i a procedure that is receivig so much attetio i the detal professio has bee very rewardig. I was actually asked to, ad gave, a presetatio o it to our local detal society. We have a large patiet pool. We treat patiets with routie ad complex oral healthcare issues we frequetly see childre i eed of sigificat detal recostructio. We get great exposure to a wide rage of detal eeds. Dr. Ayre has derived eormous gratificatio i treatig childre from uderserved commuities childre who, without his help, would have goe utreated ad at serious risk of oral health declie. Despite obtaiig great satisfactio from his work, Dr. Ayre admits some frustratio about the lack of commuity educatio focused o the importace of cosistet oral healthcare. he commuity that we serve i our health cliic is very trasiet. It ca be challegig to work with a populatio that is i such desperate eed of detal care, but lacks the meas ad focus to commit to completig the full care cycle. After trackig his patiets for the past 0 moths, Dr. Ayre has oted a dishearteig higher tha expected (oethird) umber of patiets who have missed or broke their scheduled appoitmets. We work with a extremely high risk group of people. Ufortuately, poor socioecoomic circumstaces ca iterfere with a patiet s ability to cosistetly follow-up with eeded services. Dr. Ayre ad Dr. arc Kui, Edodotics Brookly NY Program Director for LC Detal, recetly submitted a research paper o the topic for publicatio. I have really ejoyed collaboratig with Dr. Kui ad spedig so much time researchig the topic. It has bee very excitig to work o this paper. hree Lower Couties has prove a ideal traiig eviromet for Dr. Ayre. Although there are other pediatric detists i the area, oe accept edicaid, perform sedatio detistry or trasport detal patiets to the hospital. We provide a uique ad valuable service, while fillig a log overdue void, Dr. Ayre explaied. he commuity is very appreciative of our healthcare presece ad services. hree Lower Couties Commuity ervices (LCC) works closely with orgaizatios like LC Detal to help provide total health care for patiets ad to help elimiate the barriers to care. Established i 99, this o-profit commuity health ceter has three facilities servig the three lower couties of the Easter hore of arylad. LCC is the primary provider of detal services to the tri-couty area ad is virtually the oly provider for the idiget ad medical assistace populatios.

7 As with other patiets, Dr. Ayre s pulp regeeratio patiet has missed some follow-up appoitmets. He was healig well ad all sigs were poitig to a successful outcome. We are i the process of regaiig cotact with him. I am hopig that we will schedule his fial evaluatio before I graduate i Jue. Dr. Ayre credits his LC Detal residecy with preparig him for the ext phase of his career. he most sigificat thig I have leared durig my residecy is the process of thikig, researchig, ad collaboratig. or may detists, icludig myself, solo practice ca be loely. It s kid of the ature of the beast. pedig two years workig with colleagues, istructors, ad metors has remided me how valuable ad stimulatig collaboratio ca be, both i my persoal developmet ad i providig the best patiet care. Havig already bee a practice ower, Dr. Ayre would like to sped the ext several years as a o-ower. I would like to simply practice detistry without the resposibility of wearig so may other hats. y preferece is to work with several other pediatric detists ad orthodotists I feel these two professios work so well together. I would also ejoy the opportuity to work with studets, eve if for just oe day a week. I like the academic settig ad the learig eviromet. aid the father of six, Whereever my family eds up ext, we will always have fod memories of the Easter hore of arylad. he commuity i which we live is woderful. he cost of livig is very reasoable, the climate is very temperate, beach access it ideal, ad we are oly hours from all the major etertaimet a perso could wat: Baltimore, Washigto, DC, Philadelphia, New York, ad the edless beach resorts to the south Ocea City, Virgiia Beach, Outer Baks...
