Greater Springfield Dental Society

Another successful Legislative Day advocating for our profession at the Capitol in Jefferson City! Thank you to all who attended to meet with our legislators about insurance, water fluoridation, workforce challenges and continuing support for dental charities - your active membership matters! 🦷🙌😁 🇺🇸

Congratulations to all the 2025 MDA Award Winners, including our very own local component dentist, Dr. Travis Shearer who was recognized with the Distinguished Service Award! Dr. Shearer retired from dentistry after a long and dynamic career in public health dentistry, most recently served as the Dental Director of Southern Missouri Community Health in West Plains, where he helped to establish and develop dental care for children in a relatively rural, isolated area for over 20 years. Thank you for your service, Dr. Shearer!! 👏🎊😁🎉
