Washington’s Dr. Linda Edgar to Helm ADA as 160th President

Dr. Linda Edgar to take office as the 160th president of the ADA during the Oct. 10 House of Delegates meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Dentist. Leader. Mother. Wife. Teacher. Ironwoman. Author. Olympic competitor. Cancer survivor.

The titles Linda Edgar, D.D.S., holds seem endless. In the season of life where many are winding down, Dr. Edgar is just getting started in many ways. Or at the very least, she’s never stopped and has no plans to.

Some of the chapters in Dr. Edgar’s book of life had forced endings. Like when she had two miscarriages in nine months. Or when physical injuries forced her to stop running.

But Dr. Edgar has changed some chapters on her own and written her own new beginnings. She stopped teaching high school chemistry so she could attend dental school. She forged her own path of leadership within organized dentistry.

And now, she’ll take office as the 160th president of the ADA during the Oct. 10 House of Delegates meeting in Orlando, Florida.
