In the next issue of WSDA News, we will be taking a closer look at the impact of COVID-19 on the practice of dentistry. We would like our feature to reflect the experiences and opinions of a broad cross-section of our membership. To help us do that, we are hoping ​members will take a few minutes to answer any of the following questions from ​their perspectives personally and professionally. 

Please log in here to submit​ responses by August 18.
