😁 Every child deserves a healthy smile.

Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases in children and a leading reason children miss school. Fluoride helps reduce the risk of cavities and supports healthier futures.

Healthy smiles help children learn, grow, and thrive.

🦷 MDA LEGACY | Honoring the Past

Today, we honor Dr. James E. Long, 106th President of the Mississippi Dental Association (1981–1982).

During his presidency, Dr. Long helped lead the MDA through important legislative challenges, advocated for the dental profession, and strengthened fellowship among its leaders.

One of his fondest memories was the MDA’s first officer retreat in 1982 at Dr. Bryant Boswell’s camp house, where a young Peter Boswell, now our current MDA President, was camping nearby!

From one generation of leadership to the next, the MDA Legacy continues!
