OPEN TO EVERYONE! 🤩 Are you interested in dentistry? Are you currently in dental school? Are you practicing dentistry? Please join us to learn more about what seniors are experiencing as one of our populations with greater unmet oral healthcare needs. Carol Raphael, former Chair of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and former president of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY), has generously agreed to talk with us about this important matter.

Zoom Meeting ID: 974 8609 5958
Password: 491814

Please read below to be inspired to advocate for our senior population!
- The demographic of adults age >65 is growing and is projected to be a large portion of dental practice in the upcoming years
- With insurance and cost barriers, many seniors do not get preventive care or a denture they may need
- Many seniors do not know how they will obtain dental coverage after retirement and others assume that traditional Medicare will cover their dental needs—only to later find out that it does not. The federal Medicare program does not cover routine dental care or many procedures that a senior may typically need.
- About 1 in 5 Americans age >65 have untreated cavities and 2 in 3 have gum disease. Poor oral health can increase risk of serious problems, like a heart attack or a stroke.

ASDA Thank-You Picnic! We had a casual picnic celebration this past Friday for all our accomplishments this past year 🌯 It was great to see everyone and enjoy the summer evening!

🚨🚨 Attention pre-dental students! 🚨🚨

🚨🚨 Attention pre-dental students! 🚨🚨

HSDM’s ASDA Pre-Dental Committee is coordinating a Mock Interview Program for pre-dental students currently applying to dental school this cycle to get practice and one-on-one interview feedback from Harvard dental students! This will take place this summer and fall virtually.

The link for the application (just a few short questions!) and more information is in our bio! Deadline to apply is July 24th, 2021 at 4 PM (EST).

🦷🦷 Happy interviewing! 🦷🦷

[AMAZON GIFT CARD] The ASDA Advocacy Committee wants to hear from you, HSDM students only!

In one way or another, we are all advocates for positive change in the dental field! Dentistry is constantly evolving: new policies are passed, technologies improve, and access to dental care mirrors public health changes. However, some problems remain, and participating in dental advocacy allows us to consistently fight for our patients and our profession!

Do you have an interesting perspective on a dental topic? Do you want to inform your classmates of an underrated innovation or a current problem in the field? Write a short article about it, and we’ll publish it in our Student Journal of Dental Advocacy!

If you need inspiration, here are a few articles that have already been submitted:
-A comparative perspective on the US and French dental systems
-How dentists sometimes fail and sometimes succeed in treating children with cognitive disabilities
-A historical overview of community water fluoridation and its importance
-A summary of the Healthy People 2030 Oral Health Objectives

HSDM students writing an article will get an $15 Amazon gift card!

The minimum word count is 300, and the maximum is 3000. We are very flexible with topics and formats chosen! This is really an opportunity to get you and your peers involved in dental advocacy! The deadline to submit is June 15th!

Check your emails for more information about submitting!

The cyclical relationship between oral and systemic health has become evident, though sparsely characterized, throughout the years.

Please take a look at this infographic to learn more on diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and how these have an unbreakable connection to oral health. There is still a lot to learn but we do know that on one end, preventative/routine oral care is important to prevent the development of diseases and on the other end, a great dentist should know how to care for a patient who has been diagnosed with a particular disease. Knowing how a systemic disease may manifest orally is also important for diagnosis in the dental chair!
