Sunday April 29, 2007 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Annual AACDP Pre-Conference Session Plan to arrive on Saturday so you don’t miss any of Sunday’s exciting sessions Denver Marriott Tech Center, Denver, CO

Held in conjunction with the National Oral Health Conference: Advancing Access & Taking Action for the Nation’s Oral Health, April 30-May 2, 2007. Sponsored by the American Association of Public Health Dentistry and the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors

Last year, the AACDP Sunday pre-conference session featured the only panel that addressed the Alaska Dental Therapist initiative. This year, an equally dynamic and informative program has been planned that will feature two nationally recognized speakers, Dr. Burton Edelstein of the Columbia University School of Dentistry and chair of the Children’s Dental Health Project, one of the nation’s foremost dental public health experts in the public policy arena, and Dr. Barbara Steinberg, Drexel University, who is especially known for her excellent presentations concerning women’s oral health issues. A panel from several Denver/Colorado area programs will discuss how a local health department, a nonprofit agency, a foundation and a former health department octogenarian dental director with members of the local dental society are all working successfully to address access to dental care in Denver and across Colorado. Other topics include capitalizing on medical-dental partnerships and updates concerning federal dental initiatives for Head Start, putting an updated version of the Seal America manual on the internet, early childhood oral health, and rapid oral HIV testing in safety net dental clinics. This is shaping up to be one of our best ever pre-conference sessions. And finally, for those who didn’t get enough last year, AACDP will cosponsor a session during this year’s National Oral Health Conference titled “Advancing Access to Oral Health Services: An Update on Recent Initiatives” addressing various programs and proposals including the Alaska Dental Therapist effort, the ADHA program and other avenues.

Don’t miss this one opportunity of the year to network with colleagues from local, state, and federal government, foundations, academia, and all types of local dental programs. Find out what others working in local programs are doing to address the same problems you’re experiencing and where they get their funds.
