title: Because I have a choice, I will choose to do the right thing.
abstract: Leadership, in life and in dentistry, is a choice; and it should be welcomed. A dentist in his first year of practice in West Texas has chosen to center his practice on the values of involving patients in decisions about their oral health, maintaining professional integrity through ethics, and working with medical colleagues for comprehensive health.
