Tell Your Story

In our next round of advocacy work, we plan to use data and your unique stories to tell a narrative and illustrate the direct impact of COVID-19 to the profession. Tell us about the economic impact to your business and the impact to your team. Are you an employee dentist that was laid off? Are you a public health dentist that is seeing an increase in patient cases? Are you an oral surgeon performing emergency procedures keeping patients out of the emergency department? How many patients are not receiving needed oral health services because it is not urgent? How much PPE (and its related cost) did you donate to the state? Tell us YOUR story. ODA will package these stories together and deliver a unified message about the impact felt on dentistry. Email your story to COVID19@oregondental.org.
