Advocacy

Because Some of Us Aren't Neutral. As a result of the 2019 Nevada Legislative Session, it became painfully apparently that dentists and patients needed a voice in the political landscape. 2019 was the year some Nevada dental organizations claimed neutrality to dental therapists while others valiantly fought in the best interest of our patients and profession by opposing dental therapy and representing the profession we worked so hard to be a part of.

Advocacy  is about preparing for every scenario, standing by the ideals and values of your supporting members, continuously educating legislators and developing positive relationships to convey a message... a dentist's message.Because  we believe after years of education, treating patients and serving the community, your voice is relevant and important to share what's in the best interest of our patients and the profession of dentistry. So, we’re here, banding together with other specialties to begin to have a meaningful voice in the state of Nevada.


Because some of us aren’t neutral (and we don’t think you should be either), we are asking you to PARTICIPATE in the political process, SUPPORT a candidate that gives you an opportunity to communicate, and finally VOTE!  Our voice is futile without the power to make change. Interested in know which 2020 candidates voted in favor of dental therapists?
