Dr. Awadalla is a general Dentist practicing in Toledo since 1985.
She was appointed by Governor Voinovich to the Ohio State Dental Board in 1994 for a five-year term and reappointed by Governor Taft in 1999 to serve for another five years. She served as President and Secretary of the Dental Board. During her tenure on the Dental Board advocating for Public Protection she became interested in Dental Licensure Limitations in the state of Ohio. She then became an active member of the Commission on Dental Competency and Assessment (CDCA), an agency that conducts clinical examinations now accepted in 48 jurisdictions. That association led to a District Representative position with ADEX, the American Board of Dental Examiners representing Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana. These organizations have changed the landscape of dental licensure.
Dr. Awadalla previously served on the Eberly Center and Valentine Theatre Boards, and currently serves on the Crime Stopper Board.
