Society of American Indian Dentists 35th Annual Conference: Celebrating 35 Years of Navigating and Strengthening Our Indigenous Presence in Dentistry

 

This year’s conference theme—Celebrating 35 Years of Navigating and Strengthening Our Indigenous Presence in Dentistry—was more than a milestone. It was a powerful gathering of 157 members, friends, and allies who came together to honor our shared journey, uplift one another, and envision the future of Indigenous dentistry.

From vibrant cultural celebrations to insightful sessions led by dental professionals and community leaders, the energy was electric. We learned, we laughed, we reconnected—and we grew stronger together.

Thank you for joining us! Your presence made this year our largest gathering yet, and your continued support fuels our momentum. We’re already looking ahead with excitement to next year's conference in Minneapolis, MN on the campus of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry--Join us in June 2026!
