The 96-year-old dental association is the leading voice and advocate of oral health care concerns for ethnic minorities.

Its mission is to elevate the global oral health concerns of underserved communities and to enhance educational and financial opportunities and public policy awareness for its members.

Dr. Owens, a native of Nashville, practiced dentistry in Tennessee for more than 25 years before retiring from private practice in 2005. He currently serves as senior development officer for the Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry.

Dr. Owens will be joined during the installation activities by Dr. Ray Gist, newly elected president of the American Dental Association (ADA). Dr. Gist is the first African-American president-elect of the ADA in its 150 year history.
