He discussed the changes he has experienced during the evolution of dentistry, \u201cThe tools and materials used in our industry have changed but the basic principles have remained the same. We encourage residents to practice and uphold ethical standards of conduct.\u201d When asked what kind of advice he would share with aspiring dentists, Dr. Spenadel replied, \u201cBe the best dentist you can be and serve your patients well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Paul Spenadel continues to serve our community as a voluntary attending and treats geriatric patients. He actively provides supervision to dental residents and educates them on how to properly provide services for older adults. \u00a0Dr. Deborah Pasquale, Chairperson of the Dental Department shared her fondness for Dr. Spenadel, \u201cHe was one of my favorite attendings when I was a resident here at Jamaica Hospital in 1991\/1992. He is so kind and helpful and easy to work with. He makes us and the patients feel at ease. He has a wealth of knowledge to share.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Dental Department continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of its patients.\u00a0 Dr. Pasquale expressed her excitement for future plans, \u201cI am very excited about the future of our department and the residency program. We are making great strides in our attempt to offer more services to our community. We are at the final stages of incorporating dentistry in the OR on a permanent, regular basis to our services, as well as a sedation suite in our dental clinic. These will benefit our pediatric, special needs and phobic dental population and give our residents experience far beyond their dental school training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more hospital highlights, health and fitness tips, join Jamaica and Flushing Hospital on Twitter and Facebook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareThis summer the Dental Department at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center celebrated a milestone by graduating its 40th residency class.\u00a0 The department began the residency program in the 1970\u2019s; an era known for many facets of change.
