NDA was a life saver for me after I graduated from dental hygiene in 1967.  I fell in love with the NDA/NDHA when I attended a convention in Philadelphia.  I met scores of Black dentists and dental hygienists who embraced me. Every year I looked forward to dental education, civil rights luncheons, alumni dinners for Meharry and Howard, and hanging out with vibrant, confident professionals.  After attending NDA meetings, I was inspired to return to teaching dental hygiene, treating patients in dental clinics and private offices, and encouraging young folks to pursue their dreams.

Now you have a chance to help NDA support budding dentists and dental hygienists of color. Help decrease their student debt and enable  them to provide dental care to the underserved. Give and increase your impact by sharing the fundraising link below with your family and friends. Also post it on your social media pages!
