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.
There’s no doubt the practice — and management — of dentistry can escalate stress and anxiety levels. Managing that pressure is important to the health and well-being of individual dentists, as well as the future of the profession.
On Monday, May 12, Washington Governor Bob Ferguson signed WSDA’s dental benefits reform legislation, Senate Bill 5351, into law. A win for dentists and patients, Senate Bill 5351 makes meaningful progress on several major dental benefits policy issues.
