The third annual IDA Day on the Hill is a great opportunity to join your fellow dentists and students from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry as we advocate for increased dental Medicaid rates, push for solutions to dental staffing issues, and encourage legislators to support further dental insurance reforms that benefit providers and patients.
