Advocating for Patients. Protecting Private Practice. Strengthening Oral Health Across Alaska.

Support Dental Advocacy

Your Voice. Your Investment. Your Profession.

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

Why Join the Dentists of Alaska PAC (DAPAC)?

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.

Joining Forces to Fight for the Industry as a Whole

The restaurant and foodservice industry has nearly 1 million outlets and employs more than 15 million people. Together the voices in the industry can move lawmakers toward change.

Key Issues

The Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA) would stem skyrocketing fees, improve security and service, and save American businesses and consumers an estimated $15 billion per year.

The FTC is proposing a rule on so-called “junk fees” that is so expansive it would ban widely accepted restaurant fees, such as delivery and large-party service fees.
