“I absorbed more knowledge about special care dentistry than I had in years.” 💙

Thank you to Olivia Chang for sharing this incredible reflection after attending her first SCDA Conference:

“My first experience at the 26th Annual SCDA Conference completely blew my mind, far beyond anything I could have imagined or expected.”

“From the hands-on behavior guidance workshops to the real-world case discussions with dentists who treat patients that others turn away, every session left me inspired.”

We are especially inspired by Olivia’s passion for expanding awareness of special care dentistry among pre-dental students and helping create pathways for future providers to get involved earlier in their journey.

Thank you, Olivia!
