National, State and Local Dental Societies

Together, we make a difference.

Most dentists enjoy the value of membership at three levels — the national, state and local. The ADA’s unique tripartite structure fosters coordinated efforts on behalf of dentistry. The national ADA works together with the state and local dental societies to provide specific resources and services to support you and your practice, while educating the public and seeking ways to ensure access to oral health care. Our strength in numbers allows the ADA to tackle challenges too large for any one dentist.
