WASHINGTON, D.C., USA: The National Dental Association (NDA) will hold its 101st Annual Convention July 25 to 29 at the Hilton Riverside Hotel in New Orleans, where the entire “NDA Family of Organizations” — the Student National Dental Association, the National Dental Hygienists Association, the National Dental Assistants Association, the Auxiliary to the NDA and the NDA Foundation — will also host their annual conventions.

In today’s changing world of health care and health systems, health delivery models are rapidly evolving to keep pace with the new trends. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made it possible for millions of Americans to have access to health care that prior to the enactment of the legislation was out of reach.

The American health system and health providers must adapt to find ways to meet the demand.

At the convention, the President’s Symposium will be one of the highlights: “Trends in Dentistry: The Future is Now — a call to action.” The session will address challenges and concerns of patients and providers in vulnerable communities, and it will provide insights into practical, actionable and innovative practice delivery models of the future.

Subject matter experts will provide attendees with successful methods to optimize access and deliver comprehensive patient care, achieve health equity and improve “total patient health”; increase productivity and grow small businesses in underserved communities; understand the complexities and successfully navigate dental Medicaid programs; and advocate for policy and influence/reform laws that directly impact vulnerable populations and the providers that care for them.

This year’s NDA convention will provide a wide variety of scientific sessions with something for everyone. More information is available online, at www.ndaonline.org.
