As the authoritative voice for professional dentistry in Pennsylvania and its strongest and most knowledgeable advocate for dental patients’ rights, PDA educates legislators and their staffs on its legislative priorities and initiatives to improve the dental health of Pennsylvania citizens.

PDA position papers outline PDA's stance on a variety of dental-health topics. PDA also encourages legislators and their staffs to use resources and information, such as the Dental Clinic Directory and Oral Health Updates, when assisting their constituents.
