Dr. David White on advocacy and change

Dr. David White reflects on how the field of dentistry is rapidly changing. From insurance to practice types to dental school costs – the only constant he says is change. He shares how important it is for dentists to have a seat at the proverbial table to bring dentists’ perspectives to legislation affecting dentistry. Dr. White encourages all dentists to take an active role in their changing profession through advocacy.

Our community has the power to influence what’s next for dentistry – a profession that reflects and celebrates everyone’s unique talents and voices. It’s a new day for dentistry. Let’s build it together.
