Mission Statement

Dallas County Dental Society is the voice of dentistry in the area, committed to promoting high ethical standards and pursuing excellence in advocacy, community service and education.

Vision Statement

Dallas County Dental Society is the united voice of dentists and oral health care in 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 DCDS 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 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.

Members volunteer pro bono work as individual offices and in association-sponsored events, such as Give Kids a Smile, providing excellent dental care to those in need.

Educating the Community

Dallas County Dental Society members contribute to a number of oral health care education events throughout the metroplex.
