Advocacy doesn’t happen by chance. Protecting private practice dentistry, improving access to care, and advancing sound oral health policy requires strong relationships, trusted expertise, grassroots engagement, and financial support.
Every contribution to DAPAC and ADPAC helps ensure that dentistry has a respected voice when decisions affecting our profession and our patients are made.
Advocacy protects:
✔ Patient access to quality care
✔ Private practice dentistry
✔ Fair dental insurance policies
✔ Alaska’s dental workforce
✔ Small business dentists
✔ Future generations of the profession
DAPAC combines the resources of political funds, legislative expertise, and ADS dentists to approach key decisionmakers on matters of vital concern through a well-organized, well-informed, and united front.
DAPAC contributions can make a difference in successfully election a candidate to office who shares our concerns for the dental profession and the oral health of the people of Alaska.
DAPAC is not affiliated with any political party. Decisions for support are based on the individual candidates and their views regarding organized dentistry – not on the candidate’s party affiliation.
