This photo appears in our calendar for September and as our Facebook cover photo. Where was it taken? That’s in Jericho, Utah at a place called Little Sahara. Jericho, Utah Tell me the story behind this image. Jericho is about an hour or 45 minutes southwest from Eureka, Utah. One day I just drove down there with my dog to shoot some desert shots because I really love photography, and I snapped this photo. I love the negative space in this photo and the composition of it, and that’s why I submitted it. Were you born and raised here in Utah? Oh yes. What do you like about living in Utah? Well, I love the outdoors. I get outside every day and walk or bike or exercise. It’s just so nice here.

Why should a clinician use the Triodent® V3 Sectional Matrix System for Class II restorations instead of using one of the other systems out there? The reason I recommend the Triodent V3 Sectional Matrix System the very most is because it is so simple and quick. With the unique reverse s-curve cross-sectional shape to the matrix band, it provides the appropriate contour as it approaches the contact area. The band helps facilitate not only the correct anatomical shapes relative to anterior and posterior aspects but also buccal to lingual just above the contact point. In the formation of the marginal ridge, it helps to shape the proximal aspect of that marginal ridge.

Utah is world-renowned for its breathtaking beauty, and that includes the pristine streets of Salt Lake City. But venture into certain parts of town and it’s clear that every rose has its thorn, and for Salt Lake, that thorn has been finding the best way to assist the homeless. It’s been a growing conundrum in certain parts of town for a number of years, angering citizens and sending politicians scrambling for solutions. However, amidst the despair, chaos, and hopelessness, there’s a place that stands as a beacon of help; a place that offers the promise of a better future to the hundreds of people living on the streets. That place is the Fourth Street Clinic.
