November is ASDA’s Advocacy Month and Tufts ASDA would like to kick it off with a couple of events hosted by its district and local Advocacy Committees! These events will provide you great opportunities for dental students to learn about issues important in dentistry and how YOU can become more involved – learning, educating others, and spreading awareness about the issues that impact dentistry the most.
