Meet Our Officers

Meet the officers that help run MOAPD throughout Missouri.

The Missouri Academy of Pediatric Dentistry is committed to promoting the oral health of children through public education, legislative efforts and education of health care providers. Our aims for Missouri’s infants, children, adolescents and those with special needs are better access to dental care, optimal oral health and a lifetime free from preventable dental disease and pain.

MoAPD Mission Statement

The Missouri Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (MoAPD) shall enhance the health of children from birth through adolescence and of persons beyond the age of adolescence who demonstrate mental, physical, and/or emotional problems by actively involving itself in the development and implementation of programs promoting the dental health of children.

The MoAPD shall be a networking resource for those interested in advancing their knowledge of dentistry for children by offering continuing education and mentoring help to all of its members.

We’re looking forward to bringing members of the Missouri Academy of Pediatric Dentistry together for another great annual meeting. It’s a chance to connect with colleagues, hear from leading voices in pediatric dentistry, stay current on important clinical topics, and enjoy time together outside of the office.

Whether you’re joining us for the educational program, the annual business meeting, or the evening festivities, we hope you’ll be able to spend the day with us in St. Louis.
