Washington State Dental Association
The Washington State Dental Association (WSDA) is the voice of dentistry in Washington. With over 4,000 member dentists, WSDA is dedicated to being the leader in advocacy and support for dentists pursuing excellence.
For over three years, the Dental Quality Assurance Commission has been working to update our state’s dental anesthesia rules. The rules have now been finalized and will be effective as of January 11, 2024.
"Dental offices frequently ask what WSDA is doing to address dental benefits billing issues that negatively impact patient care. Today, we are excited to share an example of what we are doing and how our robust advocacy efforts help dental offices and patients not only in Washington but across the nation."
Registration is open now for the 2024 Pacific Northwest Dental Conference! WSDA members register for just $350 ($225 for recent grads) at the early bird price.
In this video from ADA Executive Director Dr. Raymond Cohlmia, you’ll learn more about ERISA, its impact on dentists and patients, and how the ADA’s ongoing advocacy is driving change on this issue and others.
"At the 2023 House of Delegates, our board and staff led a conversation about increasing sources of non-dues revenue in order to significantly reduce or possibly entirely offset revenues collected from state and component dues."
“Spending a few moments in self-awareness will help you to say ‘no’ to many roles that will clog up your time, but you will be ready to enthusiastically say ‘yes’ to the leadership opportunity that just might change your career and life.”
ADA President Dr. Linda Edgar shares a message expressing appreciation for her ADA member colleagues and excitement for the possibilities that await our profession in the coming year.
New standards and technical reports are available for comment from the American Dental Association’s Standards Committee on Dental Informatics and Standards Committee on Dental Products.
