Charleston, S.C. — Dr. Patricia L. Blanton said being a woman in dentistry has never exposed her to prejudice or biases.
Rather, she has seen what she called “the pervasive bigotry of low expectations,” and encourages all her students to do the best they can and surpass those expectations.
Surpassing expectations has defined Dr. Blanton’s life, and for that the ADA Board of Trustees will bestow upon her the ADA Distinguished Service Award at ADA 2017 – America’s Dental Meeting this October for Dr. Blanton’s lifelong devotion to advancing the art and science of dentistry.
