The Academy for Sports Dentistry's 42nd Annual Symposium

The pillars of success for sports dentistry around the globe were built in Washington! The 42nd Annual ASD Symposium was truly memorable. The Academy leadership wants to thank the more than 145 attendees for their passion, spirit, insight and commitment to ensuring that all athletes are cared for and able to confidently and safely chase their dreams. Dentists from eight countries from around the world came together emphasizing--as Dr. Brett Kessler, President-elect of the American Dental Association, stated--“oral health IS HEALTH”. We are looking forward to seeing you again next summer, June 11-13th in San Diego, California!
