Looking to Make a Medicaid Difference in Dentistry?
KDA is Looking for a new Medicaid TAC Member…
The KDA needs a new member to serve on its Medicaid Dental Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). This committee currently meets four times per year via ZOOM. Their meetings are approximately two hours long on Friday afternoons from 2-4 p.m. Eastern Time.

Contact KDA Executive Director, Mr. Richard Whitehouse at whitehouse@kyda.org or Dr. Garth Bobrowski, TAC Chair, at whitnic2@msn.com or go to Dental Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) - Cabinet for Health and Family Services (ky.gov) for more information.
HB 370 - Patient Transparency in Dental Benefits has been signed into law! Thank your legislator(s) for their votes!
Our own Dr. John Huang is at it, again! He teams up with UK Basketball great Kyle Macy in his latest adventure. 

From The Rafters of Rupp is the perfect gift for UK men’s basketball fans of all ages. Through this book, veteran fans will not only reflect on the storied history of the Wildcats in action, but they will also be able to share the pageantry and passion of this great program.

Please support our Kentucky Dental Foundation and sign up for our specialty license plate!
If we don't use it, we're gonna lose it! We are in serious need of more registrations, or our license plate will soon be discontinued!
If you are a friend of dentistry and the KDA, now is the time we really need your support!. When you renew your license plate, ask about our specialty plate and support our Kentucky Dental Foundation. $10 of each license plate sale and each license registration renewal will be donated to the Foundation. Tax-deductible!  You DO NOT have to be a member of the KDA to purchase these plates.
