There is no better way to support the dental profession than becoming
actively involved in your PDA membership. PDA members can get involved
in many ways, including donating supplies to a local clinic, providing
treatment to a needy child or joining a PDA committee, task force or
initiative to help achieve the goals of organized dentistry.
By getting involved, PDA members become more aware of the pertinent
issues facing the dental profession and help advance the profession. Get
