A Forum for Dialogue

Welcome to NDABlog.  Through this forum, NDA members, leaders, partners and guests can now share important information, insights and reflections.  Issues may range from matters of dental practice, financial management, health and wellness, NDA activities and mission, health equity, public health and more. I encourage your participation in this important new forum for members and allies of the National Dental Association.  Please contact Erica Jackson on ejackson@ndaonline.org to submit a blog for publication. We grow stronger when we learn from one another.

NDA Forward,
