The Alaska Dental Society is honored to welcome Richard J. Rosato, D.M.D., President of the American Dental Association, as a special guest at the 2026 ADS Annual Meeting in Seward.Dr. Rosato will join ADS members for two full days of education, collaboration, and connection, bringing a national perspective to the conversations shaping the future of dentistry. He looks forward to engaging directly with Alaska dentists, listening to what’s top of mind across our state, and strengthening the connections that move our profession forward.

Dr. Rosato will be a featured guest at the ADS Membership Luncheon on Saturday, May 23, and will also participate in several signature events throughout the meeting. His presence underscores the importance of unity across the tripartite and the value of coming together—especially in a setting as inspiring as Seward—to reflect on where dentistry is headed and how we can best serve our patients and communities.
