Drawing on several decades of experience in the industry, Dr. Joseph Ayoub is a dentist who has been engaged with a variety of community efforts over the years, including helping special needs charities. In addition, Dr. Joseph Ayoub is a member of several professional organizations, such as the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).
The AGD aims to advance education in the industry, and recently welcomed the Oral Health Literacy and Awareness Act of 2019, a bill that seeks to increase dental literacy across the country. It specifically looks to target what the AGD and other organizations believe to be at-risk demographics, including children, people with disabilities, and others. The bill was introduced by representatives Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-CA), Tony Cárdenas (D-CA), and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), and aims to deliver educational materials to these populations in a variety of ways, primarily through HRSA programs. Should the bill be enacted, the HRSA would receive up to $750,000 per year for these programs.
