Organized Dentistry
Organized dentistry refers to the collective and coordinated efforts of dental professionals and associations working together to advance the field of dentistry. It encompasses a network of local, state, national, and international dental organizations that collaborate to promote oral health, advocate for public policies beneficial to dental health, provide continuing education for dental professionals, and uphold high standards of practice within the profession.
Key components of organized dentistry include professional associations like ASDA and the American Dental Association (ADA), state dental societies, and specialty organizations, each playing a vital role in various aspects of dental practice and public health.
