Washington State Dental Association
The Washington State Dental Association (WSDA) is the voice of dentistry in Washington. With over 4,000 member dentists, WSDA is dedicated to being the leader in advocacy and support for dentists pursuing excellence.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network began accepting beneficial ownership information reports on January 1, and all existing dental practices and companies that meet the requirements have one year to file before facing penalties.
The Washington State Dental Association congratulates Drs. Neil Hansen and CR Anderegg on their selection as the association’s 2023 Citizens of the Year.
The Washington Physicians Health Program (WPHP) has served dentists in Washington for over 30 years. Despite this fact, many have neither heard of WPHP nor understand how it works. Understanding how your physician health program supports you and your peers can help you to effectively utilize this resource should the need arise.
“WSDA will continue to strongly advocate for HB 1655. We are working with multiple legislators to get dental amended back into the legislation as the process continues.”
Promising leaders, who are members of racial, ethnic and/or gender groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in leadership, are encouraged to apply.
The ADA earned a plethora of legislative and advocacy wins in 2023, from various health care bills that address the growing dental workforce shortage and dental insurance reform to advancing a compact that would allow dental practitioners to practice in states where they are not licensed.
The WSDA Leadership Institute is a program designed to foster new leadership in organized dentistry by getting participants involved in a variety of WSDA activities and meetings.
The Virtual Networking Session will bring together WSDA mentor dentists from a variety of locations, specialties and practice types to meet with dentists and dental students seeking professional mentorship.
