Abstract

This department feature answers member questions regarding clinical standards and association benefits. It clarifies that no specific law dictates the number of times a patient must be contacted to complete treatment, advising the use of professional judgment based on treatment severity. It also highlights vehicle discounts available through the ADA and the MDA's locum tenens program, the COVER Program. Finally, it introduces the "Women in Dentistry" Facebook group as a supportive community for women in the profession.
