The Washington State Dental Quality Assurance Commission (DQAC) Continuing Competency Committee (Committee) is bringing forward a significant proposal for the Commission to consider: a mandatory clinical continuing competency program.

Reminder: Effective January 14, 2024, all dentists licensed in Washington state must complete a minimum of 2 hours of health equity training within their three-year continuing education renewal cycle.

Join dentists from across the state on Thursday, January 30 at Dental Action Day in Olympia. One profession, one voice!

During your career there are times when you should examine and revisit your insurance coverage to ensure you, your family, your dental team, and your practice are protected.

Despite the unique challenges, dentists who choose careers in public health understand the system constraints and lean into the rewards of helping people who may not find help anywhere else.

"Some wondered what difference 10,000 boxes would make, and I said 'It makes a difference to 10,000 kids. Many baby steps make one giant footprint.'"

"While accepting credit cards ensures that offices can quickly and easily collect payments, with more patients and insurance providers choosing to pay with cards, it is a much more substantial factor in the practice's total profitability than in the past."

"At the American Dental Association, we’re recognizing the significant strides we’ve made in key advocacy areas. From tackling student debt to enhancing workforce mobility and being a leading voice for crucial insurance reform, we've taken bold steps in 2024 to ensure a bright and promising future for dentistry."

ADA President Dr. Linda Edgar and WSDA President Dr. Nathan Russell cover three ways Washington can increase access to affordable dental care in this opinion piece from The Seattle Times.

All dentists who received funds during the seventh phase of the Provider Relief Fund have until June 30 to use the money.

The ADA is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision from a lower appeals court on the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 that limits states’ traditional authority to regulate health care and insurance, and is at odds with a previous Supreme Court decision on the issue.
