The ADA joined more than two dozen state and national organizations in signing a March 3 letter that asks lawmakers to strengthen the Medicaid and CHIP programs, and highlights the role these programs play in supporting Americans. 

The organization also pushed Congress to strengthen transparency measures for Medicare Advantage, address dental workforce shortages and expand dental coverage options in a Feb. 25 letter to the House Ways and Means Committee. 

The ADA noted in its February letter that supporting these initiatives would help improve access to care and lead to better health outcomes.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
