The Dental Symposium 2015

BE OUR GUEST

To quote the practically perfect Mary Poppins, “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.” We hope you will join us for a day of learning AND fun at the 9th Annual Dental Symposium hosted by Northern Texas Facial & Oral Surgery. The event will be held Friday, October 30, 2015 at the Austin Ranch located in Grapevine, Texas. You won’t want to miss the grand prize drawing, door prizes and a costume contest before we say goodbye to all our company! Breakfast and lunch will be served! Please dress warmly if you are cold natured as the castle tends to be a bit chilly.

WE HOPE YOU AND YOUR TEAM WILL JOIN IN AND DRESS IN YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN COSTUME!
