News & Updates

What’s happening at ASTDD, what’s changing in oral health, and what matters to our members.

About

Our New Website

We’re building an improved website for ASTDD that is designed around what you need, how you use it, and making it easier to connect with ASTDD and find what matters most. This new ASTDD website will make it easier to find the resources, best practices, data, reports, connections, and tools you rely on. While the website look and structure are changing, our commitment to State and Territorial Oral Health Programs is not. We continue to be a national voice and steward for these programs and are here to help you connect, learn, and move oral health forward.

Phase 1

Launched October 6

Includes a redesigned homepage, improved navigation, simplified experience, and a new look and feel that better reflects who ASTDD is today and where we’re headed.

Phase 2

Coming Early January 2027

The experience gets even better with a full new member experience, improved access to all ASTDD resources and tools, enhanced ways to connect and engage, and more!
