Value proposition

The American Dental Association (ADA) is America's leading advocate for oral health.

The not-for-profit American Dental Association (ADA) is America's leading advocate for oral health. We’re a community of doers, thinkers, dreamers, and believers building a new day for dentistry. We are strong advocates for over 159,000 members – promoting the art and science of dentistry by supporting dental professionals through advocacy, cutting-edge scientific research and guidance, dental insurance resources and more.

We are also advocates for public health – advocating for the safe reopening of dental practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing COVID-19 resources to dentists and combatting the opioids crisis – and we’re teaming up with industry partners to help you stay healthy from the dental chair to daily care at home.
