2. Introduction
• California-based orthodontist William Fay, DDS,
provides orthodontic care to his many satisfied
patients. Though he does not practice general
dentistry, William Fay, DDS, keeps apprised of new
developments in the industry and maintains a
membership with the American Dental Association.
The American Dental Association represents
cooperation between more than 159,000 dental
professionals. These dedicated professionals work
together to further their profession and improve oral
healthcare for the American public.

3. American Dental Association
• Recently, the ADA has sought out a partnership with the Indian
Health Service and groups of community health representatives in
order to reach Native American communities. The organization
wishes to expand its community dental health coordinator model of
service, which utilizes cultural ambassadors to promote dental
healthcare in at-risk populations.
If all goes as planned, professionals with existing ties to Native
American communities can build on existing relationships to help
mitigate the cultural and financial barriers that traditionally keep
Native individuals from seeking dental care. This will help
thousands of Americans access quality care, dramatically improving
their quality of life.
