The Ohio Dental Association represents more than 5,000 member dentists, nearly 70% of the state’s licensed dentists. ODA member dentists provide more than $40 million in donated care and services annually, and they are bound by the highest ethical standards and have access to superior ongoing education, training, and resources.
The ODA advocates for our members on legislative issues that include dental practice and industry issues, as well as public oral health and safety issues. We also advocate on behalf of our members in discussions with regulatory agencies and third-party payers to resolve conflicts and recommend change when needed.
