Half Year Dues - Join Today

Did you know that the D.C. Board of Dentistry has changed its licensing requirements for the current licensing period for dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants?

You’d know if you were a D.C. Dental Society member. As a membership benefit, DCDS members enjoy monthly continuing education events and other meetings that are specifically programmed to meet the D.C. requirements over every two-year licensing period. Join today at 50% off the annual dues* and receive:

  • Complimentary CE programming to members each year between September and May, in the format of in-person monthly meetings and webinars. Hear from internationally and nationally known speakers on the latest in dental technologies and best practices.
  • Remote Happy Hours at local watering holes where you can meet your colleagues, get advice, and exchange information.
  • A monthly newsletter featuring the latest DC Board of Dentistry news, like licensing requirements and regulations.
  • ADA membership, which offers you discounts on group insurance, products, a retirement program, and more.
  • The latest in clinical practice guidelines and policies from the ADA’s science experts.
Simply fill out the application below, which provides us with your updated information and return your invoice with payment. Your membership starts once your application is approved and your dues are paid.

*Note: This offer is available to most dentists whose last membership year was 2021 or earlier. New dental school graduates may be eligible for further discounts. Membership year starts July 1, 2023 and ends December 31, 2023.
