The 2022 Oregon Dental Conference has come and gone. However, lucky for those that registered, still have an opportunity to take the classes through the Virtual Program. The program is available through May 15, 2022. Take advantage of every opportunity available to you whenever you can.

The ODAA courses were well attended with over 200 participants. Our presenters were from all over the country. We always search for the very best speakers for you, the Dental Assistants, and it is always nice to have many members of the dental team joining us.

The location of our ODAA table was located next to DANB/THE DALE and PCC's table.

Besides chocolate, the most sought after sale item was the Mesial/Distal Socks that ODAA had available. Something fun and well liked, so the ODAA Ways and Means Committee added to the fun of attending the ODC.

I would appreciate receiving information, from you, regarding your comments on this last conference and what type of education that would be helpful to you in the future. If there is interest in a specific topic ODAA would be happy to do what we can to hold an educational course, not only at the ODC but at another time and location as well.

Please feel free to contact me with ideas or comments, I am available! I look forward to hearing from you.

P.S. Other pictures from the conference will be posted on ODAA's Website.

I had the opportunity to attend a couple of virtual courses at the Oregon Dental Conference this year and if you didn’t have the chance to attend in person there are still courses available for viewing until May 15th. I would encourage you to view as many as you can as they were excellent.

Just as an example, I am sharing 3 of the power point slides presented by Dr. John Molinari. Hopefully these will inspire you to view some more.
