Residents and Faculty
Advocate for Patients and Training Programs
Pediatric dentistry residents and faculty
participated in the AAPD's Annual Congressional Lobby Days in Washington DC,
March 7, 8 and 9th. The highlight of this trip includes sessions with each
resident's home state Congressional or Senate office. These visits provide the
opportunity to educate and advise legislators and staff members on pertinent
issues in pediatric dentistry. Additional events included training sessions on
legislative advocacy, collaboration with fellow AAPD members from around the
United States, and sightseeing throughout the District.

Program Chosen for ODAF Grant
The Ohio
Dental Association Foundation recently identified the Early
Childhood Caries Program at Nationwide Children's Hospital as a
recipient of a grant totaling $5000. The award will be used towards
furthering the program's goal of improving oral health outcomes in
the low-income children through caregiver education and empowerment.
Since 2000, the ODA Foundation Grant and Scholarship Program has
awarded over $500,000 to dental students and hospital-based dental
programs throughout Ohio.
Half of
this particular grant was funded through the Don Bowers Fund. Now
retired, Dr. Don Bowers was a member of the OSU College of Dentistry
faculty for nearly four decades; he is a resident of Upper
Arlington, Ohio. As a pediatric dentist and educator, Dr. Bowers was
actively involved with the major pediatric dental organizations in
the U.S., and was instrumental to the development of the Department
of Pediatric Dentistry at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in
Columbus.
The
Nationwide Children's Hospital Early Childhood Caries Program is led
by Dr. Homa Amini and Mrs. Beth Noel, RDH. The clinical portion of
the program also benefits from efforts of Ohio State University
Pediatric dental residents.
