Thank You for an Incredible ADTA Annual Conference 2026!

Rooted and Rising: Dental Therapy Education, Identity & Opportunity

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Detroit for the 2026 American Dental Therapy Association Annual Conference!

More than 100 attendees, along with 19 exhibitors and numerous sponsors and partners, came together from across the country to learn, connect, share ideas, and strengthen the future of dental therapy.

Over three days, dental therapists, students, educators, employers, Tribal health leaders, public health professionals, advocates, and partners explored the issues shaping dental therapy today—from education and workforce development to clinical practice, community health, research, advocacy, and the future of the profession.

The conference may be over, but the work continues.
