Everyone who is dealing with dentistry in a way has just one destination every two years in March: Cologne, Germany. This is the place where it all happens, where the newest innovations are shown, where associations meet and make politics, and where parties take place. It is all just about dentistry in this city for some days; Cologne becomes the world’s capital of teeth for a short period. More than 115,000 visitors had the possibility to see Cologne in the first days of spring with wonderful sunshine, but 1,956 exhibitors from 58 countries showed their products at the International Dental Show (IDS) and did not give dentists much time to enjoy the city. But even with such a large number of booths and many halls full of things to see, you could meet familiar people everywhere. For all those who did not want to meet others only by accident, especially for members and friends of Young Dentists Worldwide, there was a meeting point: the booth of the German Dental Chamber (BZÄK). Together with the German Dental Students Association (BdZM) and Young Dentists Germany (BdZA), YDW had the opportunity to represent itself at this place.

I am standing sleepless in the boarding gate at Madrid airport waiting to fly to Santo Domingo, where I’ll work as a volunteer dentist for two weeks together with five Spanish colleagues. As soon as I landed in Madrid from Athens, I searched for my Spanish colleague and we both rushed in order to weight our luggage and put in order the dental and medical equipment that we’re bringing with us.
