Associations & Organizations for Dental Professionals

Dentistry is better when you have a community of likeminded professionals supporting you and surrounding you, so we’ve put together this near-exhaustive list of all the professional organizations you should consider joining.

This list contains the names and websites of professional dental associations, academies, organizations and  societies that offer value to members in the form of advocacy, continuing education, mentorship, networking, scholarship, volunteering, and other benefits.

 

The list is split into sections for easy navigation, with sections dedicated to professional organizations:

  • For general dentists and dental specialists
  • For dentists with specific identities and affinities
  • For non-dentist professionals (hygienists, assistants, etc.)
  • For dentists in specific states or regions
  • For dental students
