Dental Assistant Nation

Did you know the California Dental Assistants Association is no longer part of the ADAA? The split is real, and it could be a sign of bigger shifts ahead. What does this mean for the profession, for state associations, and for dental assistants? We’re diving into the “why” behind the separation and what happens next. Shari Becker shares what led to the decision, how members have responded, and what changes are already underway in California. Could this mark a turning point for organized dentistry, or is it an isolated move? The conversation raises key questions about leadership, support, and the evolving needs of dental assistants in 2025 and beyond.
