The EDA regularly apprises its Advisory Board Members of new developments in the organization to seek their advice and counsel.  “Dr. Feuerstein will be doing everything from providing guidance on our program offerings to speaking on behalf of the EDA to the trade and mainstream press,” said Pockrass. 

Dr. Paul Feuerstein graduated from the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry in 1972.   He received his B.S. at SUNY Stony Brook in 1968.  Today, in addition to continuing to practice dentistry, Dr. Feuerstein serves as a consultant to the dental profession, and is a lecturer to dental associations on technology-related topics.
