The FDSA is proud to share our experiences from the recent Florida Dental Convention (FDC) 2024, which took place last weekend in Orlando, Florida! This annual convention is an essential gathering for dental professionals, featuring a comprehensive three-day program that includes educational workshops, networking opportunities, and exhibitions of the latest advancements in dental technology.




 

This year was particularly notable for our organization as we formed partnerships with 62 dental clinics and professionals! These new connections enhance our network and improve the quality of care we are able to provide. Additionally, we successfully secured partnerships with three new corporate entities, bringing valuable resources and expertise that support our





objectives for growth and innovation in dental services.

The convention fostered an environment of professionalism and collaboration, with every interaction focused on learning and mutual advancement. The broad spectrum of dental professionals present provided a dynamic platform for exchanging knowledge and discussing the future of our profession.



 

A highlight of the convention was our interaction with the University of Florida. We were honored to accept an invitation from their College of Dentistry for a tour of their facilities. The visit provided insight into the high standards of education and research maintained by the university. Their modern facilities and commitment to academic excellence left a lasting impression, showcasing their role in shaping the future of dental professionals.

Reflecting on our time at the FDC, we feel privileged to have participated in such an enriching event. It was not only a venue for professional development and networking but also a catalyst for strategic advancements within our organization. The insights gained and the connections made have equipped us with new tools and ideas to enhance our work and drive innovation in our field.


As we look forward to the future, the experiences from the FDC 2024 will undoubtedly influence our strategic directions and initiatives. We are grateful to all the participants and organizers who contributed to the success of the event and look forward to continuing the valuable collaborations initiated in Orlando.


 

We eagerly anticipate next year’s convention, confident that it will provide further opportunities to build on the significant progress we achieved this year. Thank you to everyone involved for a truly productive and memorable event.






Stay tuned for more updates and join us in our mission to support and advance the dental profession. Together, we are making a difference!

We are thrilled to share that the FDSA had the honor of representing our dedicated community at the American Dental Association (ADA) Lobby Day in Washington, D.C.! This vibrant event, held annually, brings together dentists and dental students from across the nation to advocate for the future of dental health care.




 

One of the highlights of our experience was meeting the esteemed Dr. Linda J. Edgar, the current President of the ADA. Dr. Edgar's inspiring leadership and commitment to advancing the dental profession left a lasting impression on all of us. It was an absolute privilege to discuss the pressing issues facing our field and to hear her vision for the future of dental care in America.

The ADA Lobby Day is an event where dental professionals and students converge on Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers and discuss key issues affecting the dental community. This event is not just about lobbying; it's about learning, networking, and being a part of the legislative process that shapes our profession.


We engaged in productive discussions on topics such as access to dental care, student debt relief, and the importance of oral health in overall well-being.



 

Our participation in this event underscores our commitment to advocacy and leadership in the dental community. The energy and enthusiasm were palpable as we joined forces with peers and mentors to make our voices heard. We are immensely proud of our FDSA members who took the time and effort to participate in this impactful event. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow dental professionals, learn from industry leaders, and contribute to meaningful change.
