The Washington Denturist Association (WDA) has been at the forefront of advocating for our profession, and our 2025 Lobby Day is an essential opportunity to continue pushing for the issues that matter most to denturists across the state. We need your participation to ensure the future of our profession in Washington!

Why Lobbying Matters for the WDA?

Lobbying is a powerful tool that allows the WDA to protect and advance the interests of denturists in Washington. Over the years, we’ve seen significant legislative successes that have made a real impact on our profession: 

• We successfully expanded the denturist scope of practice to include teeth whitening trays and snore guards. 

• We fought to reinstate the Adult Dental Medicaid Program after it was cut, and we continue to be a core part of the team working to protect it. 

• We passed a bill that mandates stand-alone dental insurance plans to include denturists in their networks.

But there’s more work to be done! We’re focused on reducing fees for denturists, continuing the expansion and improvement of Medicaid payments for those working with Medicaid patients, and advocating for increased state investment in training new denturists. These goals require the support of legislators who understand the value of denturists as essential dental providers.
