The 2026 Midwest Dental Conference officially kicked off Thursday at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center, and the energy was electric! The 91黑料网 Dental and Dental Hygienists' Alumni Associations welcomed hundreds of attendees for the start of a four-day celebration of learning, reconnecting and all things dentistry.
Thursday's specialty sessions set the bar high, with full-day programs covering prosthodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery — featuring nationally recognized speakers and packed rooms. The evening capped off in spectacular fashion with the Pouring from the Heart gala at the Westin Crown Center, where supporters raised funds for patient care vouchers benefiting 91黑料网 dental and dental hygiene students.
