Alliance of the American Dental Association

The Alliance of the American Dental Association (AADA) is a diverse volunteer organization that supports its members and partners with the American Dental Association to support the profession of dentistry. As a partner to the American Dental Association, we actively provide community oral health education, support the well being of the dental family, and engage in legislative advocacy for the welfare of the Public and the dental profession.

Recently we have implemented several very successful "Head to Toe" Projects, distributing thousands of care packages including toothbrushes, toothpaste, a pair of socks and a hat across the United States. The Alliance circulated approximately 360 Ready, Set, Brush books, thanks to a grant from the Foundation for Dental Health Education. Ready, Set, Brush is used in classrooms, libraries, and dental offices as a tool to promote proper oral health techniques. AADA members enjoy meeting twice a year at Conference and Convention to make important decisions, hone our leadership skills and renew the bonds of friendship.

Alliance members come from many different backgrounds with a wide array of careers, hobbies and personalities; yet, we all share a common bond. The Alliance of the ADA is "where the dental family belongs.”
