Healthy Dentist

The FDA is also working on a dental wellness initiative conceived by President Dr. Jeffery Ottley called Healthy Dentist. We have been gathering vital resources to support dentists, their families, and their dental teams with wellness resources that are needed in today's work environment.  

If you have any questions about our Healthy Dentist initiative, please contact:

5. Alcohol and Substance Use
