John S. Echternach, D.D.S

John S. Echternach, D.D.S, is a retired general dentist who maintained a private practice in Henniker, NH, for 40 years. He has been active member of the American Dental Association, the New Hampshire Dental Society (NHDS) and Concord Dental Society (CDS). His role in organized dentistry includes more than 16 years in leadership capacity in both the NHDS and the CDS.
 
In his retirement, John has assumed the role as a teacher of healthcare professionals with his focus on a specific treatment: the science and clinical application of silver diamine fluoride (SDF), glass ionomer cements, and povidone iodine. After learning about the uses of SDF toward the end of his career, he successfully used this method on both children and adults for the last three years in his Henniker practice but had started using glass ionomers in the mid-1980's.
 
In his spare time, Dr. Echternach enjoys bike riding and hiking with his wife, Judie. He has also been a long-time Tai Chi practitioner/teacher and restores old clocks in his cozy clock shop.
