Not an ADA Member?

Are you a dentist who would you like to try out some of the benefits of ADA membership that 156,000 of your colleagues already enjoy? The ADA offers dentists who are not yet members of the ADA an opportunity to attend the Annual Session at a reduced rate—$75 instead of $750 (on or before September 12). Dentists can only take advantage of this offer once, so those who attended the 2005, 2006 or 2007 Annual Session at the reduced rate are not eligible.
