The Washington State Dental Association (WSDA) is the voice of dentistry in Washington. With over 4,000 member dentists, WSDA is dedicated to empowering members to advocate for and provide the highest quality oral health care.
A funding assistance program is available to dentists impacted by the cyberattack on Change Healthcare. ADA continues to monitor resources available to affected providers.
Whether you own a practice or are just getting started, WSDA-preferred Bank of America Practice Solutions can provide customized financial help for your short-term needs and long-term aspirations.
"I want the ADA to be a big organization that feels like a small organization, where every voice is heard, valued, and celebrated—where the words 'can't' and 'impossible' have no place."
Having two dentists in the Legislature would help WSDA advance its advocacy efforts, including work on dental benefit reforms and addressing workforce shortages. Read more about two dentists running for election/re-election in 2024 and the importance of dentists serving in Olympia.
As the new dental anesthesia rules take effect and Washington state dentists navigate the complexities of the new regulations, WSDA remains committed to advocating for transparency and accountability at every level of decision-making.
The Washington Oral Health Workforce Tracking Program (WOHW) at the University of Washington invites dental hygienists to share their dental workforce experiences. WSDA invites our members to encourage the hygienists in their offices to complete the survey.
Share your dental workforce challenges through the Spring 2024 WA Health Sentinel Survey. Survey results will be shared with key policymakers and other stakeholders to inform the policy development and funding decisions impacting our vital health workforce.
