The Arizona Dental Association (AzDA) is a voluntary professional member organization for dentists. AzDA is a professional member association representing over 2,450 dentist members and 900 allied members throughout Arizona. There is often confusion between our organization and the
Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners (BODEX). BODEX is the state agency that licenses dentists to practice and regulates the practice of dentistry in the state.
No. We are a voluntary professional member organization for dentists. We do not have dentists working here that provide treatment to patients.

For that information, you will need to contact the Arizona Board of Dental Examiners. Click here
www.azdentalboard.us to look up the dentist in their online directory and determine if any action has been taken against the dentist. You can also call the Arizona Board of Dental Examiners at (602) 242-1492. The Board of Dental Examiners may not release information about pending complaints or about closed complaints where no action has been taken.
If your complaint is about dental treatment you received from a specific dentist, and the dentist is a
member of the Arizona Dental Association, we do have a Peer Review Coordinator on staff who can discuss your complaint with you.
IMPORTANT: Before you contact us, take a moment now and verify your dentist is a member of our association. If she or he is not a member of our association, or if your complaint is over billing or financial issues, you will need to Arizona Board of Dental Examiners to see if they are able to assist you with your complaint.

Once you have verified your dentist is a member of the Arizona Dental Association,
click here to send an e-mail to the Peer Review Coordinator, and be sure to include the name of the dentist in your message.
The dentists in Arizona are required by law to maintain a certain standard of care when seeing patients, in order to accurately assess a patient’s oral health, x-rays are necessary to obtain information not available through other means (for example, screening for oral cancer, the sixth most common form of cancer). 75% of the conditions in your mouth are not visible to the naked eye (like between the teeth, in the supporting bones, or under the soft tissues or gums). Without the diagnostic tools provided by x-rays, a dentist cannot perform a complete and thorough examination and would be violating the community standard of care by proceeding with treatment in the absence of a complete examination. The general standards for the frequency of x-rays are adopted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Dental Association (ADA).
