As you know, due to the efforts of the ADA to reverse the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) decision on the Red Flag Rules, the FTC issued a 90 day delay in the enforcement.  The rules would have gone into effect May 1, but now have been delayed to at least August 1.  The FTC announced recently that it had issued another 90-day delay until November 1, 2009.  Please click here to read more about the update.

For months now you have been reading about SCDA's first DAD (Dental Access Days) project set for August 27-29 in North Charleston.  If you plan on volunteering and haven't done so already, please do so immediately.  Final plans are being made for this worthwhile event.  You can visit the SCDA website to see a video of a similar event held by the NC Dental Society plus other information that may be helpful.  Please access the volunteer form and sign up today.  Plan a trip to the beach and help our state get healthier at the same time!
