WASHINGTON, DC – A fall weekend found thousands of dentists, some rain, some warm temperatures, and most of the remaining members of the Grateful Dead congregating in the capital. While Bob Weir and Mickey Hart were there to play at the Verizon Center with their band, Dead & Company, more than 13,000 dentists and oral health professionals gathered a few blocks away at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center for ADA 2015.
