The San Diego County Dental Society was founded in 1887 and is the largest professional organization representing dentists in San Diego and Imperial counties.  Comprised of a diverse group of dentists throughout the region, our over 2,000 member-strong association is the local arm of both the California Dental Association and the American Dental Association. Membership in our Society is voluntary.

We provide meaningful resources for the advancement of patient care.  We advocate for the profession at the local and state levels and provide continuing education for dentists, and in doing so our goal is to enhance their clinical skills. We are a recognized professional resource for dentists in both their business and in their patient’s care.

Our day-to-day goal is to provide our members with the highest quality service and valuable benefits. Our programs include quality education, community involvement, and opportunities to connect with colleagues. Supporting our members is our number one priority.
