Senior National Signing Day

Whether you are taking time off, continuing your education, or going into practice, the Arizona Dental Association, the American Dental Association and local dental societies ensure you have the support, knowledge and voice to thrive as an oral health champion each day.

AzDA will attend your Annual Vendor Fair to provide you with the opportunity to partake in National Signing Day – your first step towards success as a practicing dentist.

Whether you decide to start your career or begin a residency in Arizona or in another state National Signing Day gives senior dental students the opportunity to convert their student membership into a tripartite membership and continue to enjoy all the benefits of the state, national (ADA) and local chapters of organized dentistry.

Oral Health Day at the State Capitol

How does organized dentistry’s collective voice influence Arizona legislation? How does the legislative process work? What is it like to talk to a State Senator or Representative? What does the Capitol building look like from the inside?

Sign up for AzDA’s Dental Day (held every February at the Arizona Capitol). See the inner workings of legislation (specifically legislation that will affect your industry), develop some contacts with Arizona leaders, partner up with an experienced dentist (great opportunity to ask some “real world” questions), and finally, score some free food.

Give Kids a Smile

Each year thousands of dentists, dental team members and dental students across the country take time from their busy schedules to help children who lack access to dental care get the treatment they need. Here in Arizona, the Arizona Dental Foundation coordinates GKAS events at both ASDOH and Midwestern. If you have the heart to use your talents to help children from low-income families, make sure you step-up and volunteer.
