We strive to provide you with clinical information and practical tools to train, grow and develop
your dental practice. The New York State Dental Foundation's continuing education site
offers online dental continuing education for the entire dental team. The site is dedicated to
providing you with online access to state mandated continuing education courses including infection
control and the new ethics and jurisprudence course for dentists, as well as various elective courses.
In addition, the New York State Dental Foundation offers a number of online courses for lecture
credits. These credits will count towards your continuing education requirement and do not count
as home study courses, but rather as lecture courses. Should you have any questions or require
assistance, please contact us at (800)-255-2100. Thank you for choosing the New York State

The New York State Dental Foundation is proud to partner with the New York State Dental Association in
promoting dental health certificates for children entering grades K, 2, 4, 7 and 10. This important public health
initiative demonstrates the commitment of organized dentistry to the public, especially vulnerable populations, and
serves as an important tool in identifying those children whose poor health makes it difficult for them to speak, eat
and learn.
Beginning on May 22nd, the Foundation will offer a free, pre-taped presentation based on the Putnam County School
Screening Initiative developed by Roderick MacRae, III, DDS, of the Columbia University School of Dental Medicine
and Erin Ray Pascaretti, RD, MPH, of the Putnam County Department of Health. Dr. MacRae will describe the
process for creating a county wide school screening program, including the steps needed to: create partnerships; set
up structures for both screening and referral mechanisms; providing appropriate information and consent letters to
school districts and parents, and providing the proper forms for screening and data gathering.
Although this will be a recorded presentation, we invite component dental society leadership, executive directors, and
any dental health professionals interested in the power of public/private partnerships, to participate by submitting
questions by May 13th to Lou Carol Lecce at lclecce@nysdental.org Dr. MacRae will set aside time during his
presentation to answer your questions. We welcome and invite your participation. This program is being offered free
of charge, however no MCE credit will be given.
This Webinar is made possible by a grant from the New York State Department of Health/Bureau of Dental Health.
