Beyond teaching the art and science of our profession, Dental School Faculty serve as role models, mentors, and guides to the next generation of dentists. 

The influence of dental school faculty members is profound, and the American Dental Association (ADA) and New Jersey Dental Association (NJDA) recognize the impact dental educators make every day. 

With that in mind, starting this year, state and national memberships for full-time dental school faculty (16+ hrs/wk) have been reduced by 50%. This reduction reflects our commitment to supporting faculty in their vital role.

Returning members (were members in 2024) can rest assured, all the member benefits they rely on remain fully available at this discounted rate. To renew your membership, please CLICK HERE, call 732-821-9400 or return the printed invoice.
