CDA Presents The Art and Science of Dentistry just welcomed dentists back to its first in-person convention since fall of 2018. With COVID-19 prevention protocols in place, more than 2,700 dentists and dental team members safely gathered Sept. 9-11 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. 

To combat the COVID-19 delta variant’s deadly toll in communities nationwide, President Joe Biden on Sept. 9 announced a COVID-19 action plan that mandates vaccination, with no testing option, for Medicare- and Medicaid-participating hospitals and other health care settings.

Qualified small business owners in California, including dentists, who have experienced pandemic-related health and safety restrictions, such as business interruptions or closures or increased PPE costs, can apply Sept. 9-30 for a California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant.
