Gregory Dodd, DDS, of Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry, said he was inspired to provide the scholarships after his dental practice became concerned about the lack of healthcare providers in the area, particularly dentists.

Students interested in any dental role are eligible for the scholarships. 

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 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.
