MADISON, Wis., USA: Dr. Ron Goodlin of Aurora, Ontario, took the helm as president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) during the AACD’s 28th Annual Scientific Session, held in Washington, D.C., May 2-5. Goodlin is an accredited member of the AACD and has been involved in the organization since 1997.

Goodlin practices dentistry at Smiles Dental, located in Aurora, Ontario. In his free time, he is an amateur photographer and is working to open a dental clinic in Tanzania. His objective is to encourage dentists from Canada, the United States and Europe to spend a day or two at the clinic as they pass through Tanzania during safari vacations, as well as create an opportunity for dental students to visit and do some work there.

“I am so excited about the upcoming year as president of the academy,” Goodlin said. “Together, all of us at the academy will make a great team and I know we will accomplish a lot and have fun doing it!”

In addition to his work at AACD, he is currently the president of the Toronto Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, is a co-founder of the Canadian Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and served as the editor of the Canadian Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry from 2000 to 2008. He remains the associate editor and is on the editorial boards of both Spectrum and Teamwork dental journals. He graduated from the University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry in 1980.
