This week, Maine joined Tennessee, Washington, Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Kansas becoming the seventh state needed to activate the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact. Legislation is currently pending in Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.??

Tennessee dentists and dental students gathered in Washington D.C. this week to address critical issues facing dentistry and oral healthcare. Together, they advocated for positive changes for patients and the profession. Thanks to everyone who participated in this event showcasing the collective power of organized dentistry! #LobbyDay2024 #ToothParty #TDA #OrganizedDentistry #TNDentists

Successful day at the Capitol! On Tuesday, TDA members, joined by lobbyists and staff, took part in Tennessee Dentists' Day on the Hill engaging lawmakers in discussions regarding our legislation (SB 677/HB 949). The bill secured unanimous support in both the House Insurance Committee and the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee. Special thanks to our bill sponsors, Rep. Clark Boyd and Sen. Shane Reeves, for recognizing TDA dentists in attendance. In addition to our physical presence on Capitol Hill, our grassroots efforts were incredibly successful. TDA members sent 245 emails and placed numerous calls to legislators in support of dental insurance reform legislation. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort you have dedicated to amplifying our impact! Our work is not done. To ensure the bill's full passage into law, we must maintain this momentum. If you have not done so, please sign up to receive TDA Advocacy Action Alerts by texting TNDENTAL to 50457. Remember: YOU are the most powerful advocate in advancing the cause of dentists and patients in Tennessee. #OrganizedDentistry?#advocacy
