Welcome to the Idaho State Dental Association!
Every dentist is important to the Idaho State Dental Association. There is more to membership than mere financial benefit. We hear from many member dentists that they maintain membership because they value the ways the ADA, our state, and local associations support dentistry, enhance the profession, and advocate for their practices.
The ISDA is here to assist you in whatever way we can, and provide you a voice for quality dentistry in the community and state. We recognize the wide array of challenges facing dentists today. You’re likely facing the challenges of building your practice, changing healthcare landscapes, managing the burden of dental school debt and balancing increased demands for your time.
Our mission at the ISDA is to help you navigate these challenges by working on your behalf on key issues critical to the long-term success of our dentists. We work to improve awareness of oral health care across the state while establishing our dentists as the oral health care authority of Idaho. By providing meaningful education and networking opportunities to help dentists stay abreast of the changing economic, technical and political environment, we do just that.
As a member, your opinions are heard by your association who then advocates on your behalf to protect your practice. You receive many member benefits such as Peer Review, the ISDA Mentor Program (connecting new dentists with experienced dentists), access to vital information and networking at dental society meetings, membership publications that keep you informed of the latest issues in dentistry, discounted insurance programs through Idaho Dentists’ Insurance Agency, and legislative representation on issues which affect the practice of dentistry in Idaho and the nation. Another great benefit is FREE registration, a $500 value, at the ISDA Annual Session, giving you continuing education and networking opportunities.
Remember, when you join the ADA, the ISDA, and your local component society, we join you! Membership brings you access to the collective strength of 157,000 member dentists. Every dentist’s support helps us ensure a sound future for your profession and the oral health of Idaho.
We invite you to join your colleagues and become a part of the success of the profession of dentistry. If you have any questions regarding membership or the Idaho State Dental Association, please contact us at 208-343-7543 or at info@theisda.org.
