The eighth joint annual meeting of the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD) and the American Association of Public Health Dentistry (AAPHD) was held April 30–May 2 in Denver, Colorado, in conjunction with the 19th annual meeting on Special Care Dentistry. The meetings overlapped and presented joint sessions on Wednesday, May 2.

Conference sessions addressed the future of the dental workforce and the dental public health infrastructure, access to oral health services, effective programs for preventing oral disease, partnership and coalition development, and the role of state oral health programs in disaster preparedness and response. On Wednesday, May 2, former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona was the keynote speaker for the opening plenary; other sessions on that day focused on providing oral care and services to people with disabilities and fostering partnerships to improve oral health in people with disabilities.

The conference was cosponsored by CDC, the Health Resources and Services Administration, ASTDD, and AAPHD.
