Ada

The American Dental Association (ADA) is the leading U.S. professional organization for dentists, offering clinical guidelines, oral health research, advocacy, and practice resources to support dental professionals and public oral health. It publishes major industry titles (including JADA and ADA News), maintains CDT coding, and provides continuing education, licensure tools, conferences like SmileCon, and practice-management resources. The ADA also advocates on dental policy, supplies data and industry insights, and offers membership services tailored to students, new dentists, and established practitioners. Dentists turn to the ADA for authoritative guidance, standards, and centralized support across clinical, regulatory, and business needs.
