Benefits of Membership
Reasons to Become ADA/ KDA/ LDS Members
Legislative Advocacy
In addition to staff and lobbyist efforts, our organizations help member dentists advocate for themselves at the federal, state, and local levels. These efforts produce profound impacts on both the practice of dentistry and the oral health of our communities. Join us to add your voice to the efforts and help guide policies that directly affect your practice.

Find-a-Dentist
There are nearly 80,000 members who have uploaded profile pictures in the Find-a-Dentist tool, and we'd love to see even more smiling faces! Member dentists profiles with photos, emails, websites, etc. appear first in search. Member profiles with a photo are clicked on 11 more times than those without. Check out the Find-a-Dentist toolkit for campaign materials and additional resources for state and local societies.
Members: Do you have questions about your profile or need help troubleshooting? Please contact memberprofile@ada.org – we'd be happy to assist.
