From Our President:
We are so lucky to live in the
great state of Utah and to have so many natural resources and beauty
surrounding us. Every time I stop to take in the scenery, I'm left in
awe. The same can be said about other resources surrounding us in the dental
community. We have wonderful organizations and people constantly aiding
our cities and towns. The Alliance to the Utah Dental Association is one
of the best resources for dental health that is offered in Utah. As our
motto says, we come together to promote oral health, ensure the well being of
the dental family, and further responsible legislation in regards to dentistry.
The essential
constituents of our organization are clearly the spouse members who donate
time, effort, supplies, and money; we
participate to help others in need and what better way than to join forces with
the workforce that provides so many blessings to us. As a vital branch of
the Utah Dental Association, AUDA works with dentists to provide dental health
education in classrooms, medical offices, and at community events. The results
are immeasurable as more and more people start taking a proactive approach to
their own dental health.
The benefits are many, and the
need continues to grow as Utah's population increases. More volunteers
are absolutely necessary for the organization to continue so successfully.
Instead of thinking "I just can't give any more _______ (time, effort,
money, supplies,) why don't we start saying to ourselves, "If I can just
give this much, it will help someone in need." Do what you can and
join us in such a rewarding and needed cause as we continue to keep Utah
beautiful, one healthy smile at a time.

Association
