Officers of the American Dental Association held a meeting requested by Dental Tribune Latin America to seek solutions to the crisis in Haiti, specifically to help colleagues from that country who have lost lives, families, offices and means of work.  

Dr. Ronald Tankersley, ADA president, Dr. Raymond Gist, president-elect, executive director Kathleen O'Loughlin and the director of the Division of Global Affairs received at ADA headquarters in Chicago an international delegation which included Dr. Samuel Prophete, president of the Haitian Dental Society, Dr. Adolfo Rodriguez, president of the Latin American Dental Federation (FOLA), Dr. Adán Yáñez, presidente of the Ibero-Latin American Dental Federation (FDILA), Torsten Oemus, president of Dental Tribune International, and Javier de Pison, editor of Dental Tribune Latin America.


The group discussed different ways to help Haiti, such as a series of "A Smile for Haiti" conferences at several congresses in both Latin America and the United States that will be broadcast through the Dental Tribune Study Club, a program called "Adopt a Dentist", coordinating work with the Oral Health Coalition for Haiti (PAHO), and contacting dental companies for the donation of materials, instruments and dental units to Haiti.
