CDA Sets May 12-13 Dates for Convention to Prevent Conference Overlap

During the recent Dental Board of California meeting held on August 14, 2025, a key discussion centered around scheduling a convention in collaboration with the California Dental Association (CDA). Board members proposed holding the event on May 12-13, 2026, to ensure that it does not conflict with other important conferences. This scheduling aims to maximize attendance, allowing more individuals to participate in both the meeting and the convention.

The decision reflects the board's commitment to enhancing community engagement and ensuring that dental professionals have ample opportunities to connect and share insights. By avoiding overlaps with other events, the board hopes to foster a more inclusive environment for discussions that impact dental practices and patient care in California.

In addition to the convention planning, the meeting included discussions about public comments, emphasizing the board's openness to community input. This approach highlights the importance of transparency and collaboration in shaping policies that affect dental health services across the state.

As the board moves forward with these plans, the focus remains on improving accessibility and participation, ultimately benefiting both dental professionals and the communities they serve. The next steps will involve finalizing the convention details and continuing to encourage public engagement in future meetings.
