Mission
Statement
The Dallas County
Dental Society serves as a leading ADA component, committed
to meeting the diverse needs of members by promoting high
ethical standards and pursuing excellence in advocacy, community
service and education.
Vision Statement
The Dallas County Dental Society is
the pre-eminent ADA component, promoting ethics, education
and unity among its diverse, dynamic membership, thereby enriching
the lives of the dental community and the public it serves.
Benefiting the Community
Dallas County Dental Society members are licensed
by the State of Texas and ascribe to the strict Principles
of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct of the American
Dental Association.
The peer and judicial review processes of Dallas
County Dental Society mediate patient complaints and adjudicate
professional violations of members. Dentistry is a self-regulating
profession and these guidelines benefit patients and the public
at large.
Serving the Community
Dallas County Dental Society provides referrals
to the public needing a dentist for consultation and treatment.
Unlike most referral organizations, Dallas County Dental Society
assesses no fees to either the public or the dentist for referrals.
Caring for the Community
Since 1926, Dallas County Dental Society has sponsored the
largest and most preeminent dental continuing education convention
in the Southwest United States. The Southwest Dental Conference
at Dallas hosts more than 10,000 dental professionals for
three days of intensive lectures and hands-on workshops.
These distinctive continuing education lectures
and workshops allow dental professionals to update their skills,
expand their knowledge and elevate the quality of care provided
to all patients.
Educating the Community
Dallas County Dental Society funds and maintains
a dental exhibit promoting good oral health care at The Science
Place at Fair Park as a permanent educational display for
the community.
What does all this mean?
Dallas County Dental Society is committed to
sustaining the most capable dental professionals available
to serve the needs of the community. Its members are dedicated
to providing accurate information and quality dental care
to the community. Who you get your information from can be
just as important as what you are told.

members representing general dentistry and the nine specialties
recognized by the American Dental Association.
