A message from our president
Greetings North Dakota Dental Assistants Association.
Hello great members of the North Dakota Dental Assistants Association.
We appreciate your continued support! Nationally the ADAA proudly celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. As one of the oldest professional associations we have been devoted to dental assisting as a profession. As a state chapter we continue to work hard for you. We invite you and your dental professional friends to join our Facebook to stay up to date on all the latest information.
We ask for continued membership support from all dental Assistants so the NDDAA can continue our commitment to expanding our profession.
Along with the board I extend our heartfelt gratitude for another successful Annual Session. Our speakers shared useful information helping to make continuing education a little more enjoyable. Attendance was fabulous and many local businesses donated to aid in allowing us to maintain a high quality event. We thank you!
If you have any questions, suggestions, concerns or anything at all, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or another board member.
Mikala Wegner
NDDAA President
The NDDA (North Dakota Dental Association (NDDA) and North Dakota Dental
Foundation (NDDF) are leading the next North Dakota Mission of Mercy (MOM)
with support from our host Delta Dental of MN, many generous donors, and hundreds of selfless volunteers. The next event will be held on October 11-12th, 2024 at the Bismarck Event Center. MOM events are currently sponsored by over 30 state dental associations and dental foundations to provide care to patients that have difficulty accessing care. The NDDA/NDDF last sponsored a MOM in 2021.
A 50-chair clinic will be set up on the floor of the Bismarck Event Center. Patients will be seen first-come first-serve from 5:30 AM to 5:00 PM both days. 200 dental professionals and 200 lay volunteers will be needed to provide care to those with barriers to dental care. Extractions, fillings, some root canals, and replacement of missing front teeth will be provided. There are 2 shifts of volunteer jobs each day and there are many types of clinical and non-clinical jobs needed. General and professional liability insurance is being provided for ALL volunteers.
Volunteers, you can find everything you need at: ndmom.org. Online volunteer registration opens July 15th!
