Reduced Memberships For Dental School Faculty

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, 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.

New members should CLICK HERE for the Membership Application or call 732-422-2706 to take advantage of the faculty discount.
