The Scranton District Dental Society held a “thank you” pizza party for the consumers and staff of the Arc in May. This annual celebration commemorates the Arc for their continued dedication to assisting the SDDS with National Children’s Dental Health Month. The SDDS is an education and service-based organization comprising approximately 150 local member dentists. It is a constituency of the American Dental Association and the Pennsylvania Dental Association. The SDDS oversees activities like Children’s Dental Health Month, public education, school visitations and continuing education for dentists. The mission of the SDDS is to provide dentists with a forum to discuss pertinent issues that relate to the practice and regulation of dentistry as it pertains to the health and general well-being of the communities they serve.
