President’s Message

Dr AB

Dear NODA members, 

We are off to a great start to the new year 2024! We will be welcoming ADA’s SmileCon® event to our city on October 17-19, 2024 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center this year. The last ADA Annual Session meeting was held in New Orleans back in 2013! We are excited to host ADA members as they trek their way down to our hometown for this year's SmileCon® meeting. Since the ADA’s SmileCon® meeting will be held here in New Orleans for 2024, we will not have a New Orleans Dental Conference meeting for this year only. Please mark your calendar as our next date for our annual New Orleans Dental Conference & Louisiana Dental Association’s Annual Session will be April 10-11, 2024 held at the Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Quarter.

We are combining our CE courses during the General Membership meetings as well. Our next 2-hour CE/General Membership dinner meeting will take place March 20, 2024 at Jaeger’s Seafood & Oyster House. Please be on the lookout for an invitation for the CE topic! 


February is Children’s Dental Health Month. This year, for Give Kids a Smile (GKAS), we will be hosting a group of 120 2nd grade students from Esperanza Charter Academy at LSU Health New Orleans School of Dentistry on February 2, 2024. Last year's GKAS event was a big success and we hope to continue to raise awareness and promote well checks and proper dental routine home care for children within our surrounding area.  The NODA President’s Installation Banquet is taking place Friday, March 1, 2024 at Metairie Country Club. Thank you to Drs. David DeGenova and Kristi Soileau for graciously hosting the venue for us. We greatly appreciate the support they have provided us. The 2023 Honor Dentist award will be presented by the NODA Honors & Awards Committee Chair Dr. David Hildebrandt.
