We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Dr. Charles Blair on November 6, 2023, at the age of 81, following a courageous battle with several illnesses. Charles was a true visionary and the ultimate “idea man,” whose boundless energy brought many of them to fruition, creating success in numerous ventures. He was indeed a legend in the dental community, a highly respected author and publisher, nationally acclaimed speaker, and esteemed and revered practice management consultant who dedicated most of his life to improving the dental profession.

He graduated from Erskine College in 1964 and served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy until 1969. He developed his love for dentistry at UNC – Chapel Hill, where he graduated from the School of Dentistry in 1974.
