▤ Summary

— The American Dental Association (ADA) Practice Institute is holding its first Elder Care Symposium on June 28 to help dental professionals understand the importance of serving older patients and the growing population of patients who need care. The keynote speaker is Dr. Marsha Pyle, dean of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry. The speakers have been leaders in exploring ways to expand and improve dental care for elders. On March 21, the alliance hosted an interprofessional oral health education workshop in rural Maine. Collaborations such as these between academia and practice are critical for addressing oral health disparities for older adults whether in nursing home or community dwellings, Dr. Brennan said.
