To help Idaho dentists succeed and support the advancement of the health of the public.
Continuing Education for Members: In 2020, 215 North Idaho Conference attendees earned up to 6 hours of CE each. Due to the pandemic, our 2020 Annual Session was cancelled, along with other in person CE classes. We supported our 7 component societies in delivering online and hybrid continuing education seminars throughout the year.
Advocacy: During 2020, the ISDA Advocated for the establishment of clear laws and rules to support implementation of telehealth technologies in dentistry, continued improvement of the dental program in Medicaid, and thoughtful integration of a new member of the dental team. Specific to dealing with the pandemic, the ISDA advocated for access to appropriate PPE so dentists could safely provide essential oral health care, inclusion of the dental team as frontline healthcare workers in group 1 for vaccination, and maintaining dentistry as an essential business. The Association also provided continued support for refinancing options for student loans to address the high costs of dental education, and efforts to ensure a fair playing field between dentists and third-party payers.
Community Outreach: ISDA organized Give Kids A Smile which provided an estimated $48,000 in free dental care to 121 children across the state. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic other volunteer events for 2020 were cancelled. The ISDA continued monthly TV segments in the largest Idaho market educating the public on the importance of oral health care and highlighting safety protocols designed to protect both patients and practitioners from the spread of COVID-19, encouraging the public to continue to see their dentist. The Association provides a sustained social media presence to increase connection with community and provides relevant oral health care topics, with an average reach of 1,200 per month.
