Greetings North Dakota Dental Assistants Association.

Thank you to all who made the trip to Fargo for our annual state convention. We had a great turn out and wonderful speakers. We are trying a few new things to go more digital so thank you for your patience as we navigate new territory. We are always up for recommendations if there is a specific speaker you would like to hear or a certain topic. Please get ahold of any of our board members and let them know.

Once again, I am honored to be the President of the North Dakota Dental Assistant Association. I am excited to hear your ideas about what you expect to see from your association. We strive to build our profession by continually fighting for more duties and have our voices be heard. Please let us know how we can help you improve and grow as a professional dental assistant. As a board we have been working hard on getting several more duties passed through our Legislature.  Dental Assistants are the backbone of the team and with more duties for the already highly skilled assistant we hope to be able to provide the Dentist to use his/her time more efficient and to provide excellent services to our patients. We will keep you updated on any changes.

We have been making great strides in advancing ourselves and will continue the hard work and persevere in moving this profession forward. Everyone on the Dental team plays a vital role and every office can work to its highest capacity if we all work well together.

Save the date for the next “Mission of Mercy” October 11-12th 2024 at the Bismarck Civic Center.

Stay safe, stay healthy and keep those smiles shining bright!

Sasha Dusek

North Dakota Dental Assistants Association President
