History

Established in 1998.

On March 22^nd, 2007 the endodontic world lost an extraordinary professional. I lost a wonderful colleague and I lost a friend.

Dr. Thomas Charles Dumsha, or Dr. D. as I called him, was an accomplished scholar and devoted mentor. Thom was memorable. Thom was genuine. Much of what I know about the specialty of endodontics, and beyond the field of dentistry, Dr. D. taught me.

It is to him that I dedicate this office,

TCD Endodontics, now known as Polaris Dental Specialists
