Supporting Dentists.
Advancing Oral Health.
Serving Dallas County.

The Dallas County Dental Society (DCDS) is a professional association dedicated to supporting licensed dentists in Dallas County. As the local component of the Texas Dental Association (TDA) and the American Dental Association (ADA), DCDS provides members with continuing education, professional resources, leadership opportunities, and meaningful ways to give back to the community.

For more than a century, DCDS has served as a trusted voice for dentistry—strengthening the profession while promoting better oral health for all. Our mission is to serve the professional needs of our members. As part of this mission, DCDS proudly sponsors the annual Southwest Dental Conference and DCDS Foundation.

What inspires our DCDS leaders? Dr. Andrew Read-Fuller, President of the Dallas County Dental Society, shares his perspective here on leadership, the dental community and the importance of supporting colleagues and patients.
