NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., USA: The National Dental Association celebrated its 100th anniversary at its annual meeting here, held July 26 to 30 at the Gaylord National Resort. The event marked 100 years since NDA organized in 1913 to address the needs and issues of African American dentists, who because of segregated practices and racial discrimination were not allowed to join the white organizations of the era.

Among the many highlights at this year's meeting was the presentation of the NDA's Centennial Recognition Award to Henry Schein Chairman and CEO Stanley M. Bergman.

The mission of the NDA is to promote oral health equity among people of color by harnessing the collective power of its members, advocating for the needs of and mentoring dental students of color, and raising the profile of the profession in communities across the United States.
