Our community partners are doing work that matters—and we want the world of public health dentistry to know about it. That’s why we’re inviting Delta Dental Foundation (DDF) grantees to present their grant-funded work at conferences throughout the country, and we’ll cover registration and travel fees. The DDF will also work with you to help promote the session through social media, interviews, blog posts and more.
