DENTPIN (DENTal Personal Identifier Number) is a unique, eight-digit number that helps protect your personal identifying information. It replaces the use of Social Security Numbers, Canadian Social Insurance Numbers or Reference Numbers for the dental testing, application and education systems.
If you have previously taken or applied to take any dental exam, or if you are a licensed dentist or dental hygienist in the U.S., you already have a DENTPIN please do not register for another.
You may search for a forgotten DENTPIN or if you know your DENTPIN but forgot your password, you can retrieve a forgotten DENTPIN password. To change or correct your name or other information, do not register for a new DENTPIN. Instead, complete the DENTPIN Request Form (PDF) and email it to: dentpin@ada.org. If you need to update your address, phone number or reset a password, use the self service feature and Update Your DENTPIN in real time.
