Sesame Communications and National Dental Association Announce Strategic Alliance

SEATTLE--()--Sesame Communications, the leading provider of cloud based solutions to help dental and orthodontic practices accelerate new patient acquisition, build patient loyalty and transform the patient experience, today announced a strategic alliance with the National Dental Association (NDA), whose mission is to promote oral health equity among people of color by harnessing the collective power of its members, advocating for the needs of and mentoring dental students of color, and raising the profile of the profession.

This alliance between the NDA and Sesame is designed to ensure that NDA practices have ready access to patient engagement management solutions to help them grow and thrive in the digital age. Sesame will work directly with NDA practices to help them implement proven digital strategies and solutions that build profitable, long-term patient relationships. In addition, Sesame has joined the NDA Corporate Roundtable and will provide advice and counsel to the NDA in the development of organization policies and strategic action plans.

“Sesame is a staunch supporter of the National Dental Association’s mission to promote oral health equity in underserved and vulnerable communities,” said Diana P.

Sesame helps thousands of dental and orthodontic practices, nationwide, harness the power of the Internet to efficiently build and manage all aspects of patient engagement. Sesame solutions include an integrated online suite of services that enable dentists to actively and efficiently engage with their local patient population.
