Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Day 2 of our #ADSOFlyIn was a success! Yesterday, our members travelled to Capitol Hill to meet with elected officials and discuss legislation that would advance oral health and improve access to #dental care. Thank you to the members of Congress who took the time to speak to us.

The Nevada Legislature unanimously passed SB393 to require dental insurance to report how they spend your premiums to ensure #PatientsBeforeProfits. It was a honor to work on this legislation on behalf of @DentalNevada and with @twf775 @TheADSO @YourADHA to support Senate Minority Leader @HeidiGansert, who diligently brought together stakeholders to reach consensus.
Save for #Massachusetts via ballot measure, Nevada may soon have the most comprehensive and transparent DLR legislation in the entire country. #nvleg

What is #licenseportability & why is it so critical? License portability creates a less burdensome path for #dental professionals already licensed in one state to relocate to another & help alleviate #workforce shortages.

ADSO applauds @TexasHouse for passing #HB3039! For too long, Texans have struggled to maintain regular #dental care due to #workforce shortages. This is an encouraging step to increase dental care access & we urge the #TXSenate to pass this bill as well. adsohost.wpenginepowered.com…

Research on the #MouthBodyConnection shows an increased risk for strokes and dementia in patients with periodontal disease. PDS-supported clinicians play a vital role in educating patients on these correlations. To us, dental care is healthcare. #NationalStrokeAwarenessMonth

“The need for [SB 1464/HB 1333] is urgent. Universal licensure would address workforce shortages in critical areas, such as health care, education and technical trades” writes @GroverNorquist in @TB_Times.

Six million Floridians live in dental deserts. A bill in the #FLlege could change this by making it easier for #dental professionals to relocate to Florida. We urge @FLHouseDems @FLSenateDems @FLGOPMajority @FLSenateGOP to support SB 1464/HB 1333. tampabay.com/news/health/202…
