The Iowa
Society of Pediatric Dentistry (ISPD) is the state
component of the American
Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry. The state component is a member of District IV.
There are currently 26 pediatric dentists in private practice
in Iowa and 6
pediatric dentists on the faculty at The University of Iowa
College of Dentistry.
The purpose of the ISPD is to represent the concerns of members
at the state, district and national level and to lobby the
local governmental agencies regarding issues that affect the
oral health and well-being of children in Iowa.
Recent issues include the general anesthesia bill, resolution
for the 1st visit by age one and increased reimbursement
from Title XIX.
The annual meeting of the ISPD is held in conjunction
with a continuing education course on a topic relevant to
Pediatric Dentistry. This year, the meeting and CE course
will be held on September
13, 2002. The speaker will be Dr. Cathy
Flaitz, an Iowa
alumnus with specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry and
Oral Pathology.
