The AAP Foundation

 

Dasha Resnansky is a prolific and established professional in the dental industry. Working as a periodontist that specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, she also is experienced in performing a multitude of other dental procedures and treatments. Dasha Resnansky also takes the time to bolster her knowledge of the changeable industry through her membership with the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP).

The American Academy of Periodontology is a non-profit, professional organization meant to provide resources, community, and assistance to periodontists. Originally founded in 1914 by two female periodontists, and with only 18 members, the AAP today has over 8,000 members and promotes excellence in the field through the variety of educational and professional resources provided to its members.

However, the AAP does not focus exclusively on its established members; the association also has a strong, thriving foundation. This charitable organization still focuses on the realm of periodontistry, but works to educate and provide care for those who do not have the financial means to do so themselves. The AAP foundation accomplishes this through a variety of scholarships for students in its dental field of interest, advocating for greater awareness of dental hygiene, and supporting clinical research to create new, innovative treatments to assist patients.
