Last week at the Minnesota Dental Therapy Association meeting, our team was excited to present Apple Tree Dental’s inaugural Drs. Brickle & Self Rural Health Champion Award Scholarship to Sona Dani, LDH, a dental therapy candidate at Minnesota State University, Mankato, Class of 2027. Sona will join Apple Tree Dental at our Fairmont Center for Dental Health upon graduation!
The Drs. Brickle & Self Rural Health Champion Award Scholarship is generously funded in 2026 by the Frank W. Veden Charitable Trust.
Minnesota continues to lead the nation in advancing dental therapy and expanding access to care. At Apple Tree Dental, we’re proud to employ more than a dozen dental therapists and advanced dental therapists who help bring essential oral health services to communities across our state.
A heartfelt thank you to MDTA for hosting such an outstanding conference and fostering meaningful opportunities for learning and collaboration!
