Our Story

Since its inception more than 160 years ago, the Michigan Dental Association has helped member dentists succeed. From its initial campaign to create a dental school at the University of Michigan and its tireless promotion of strict ethical standards for the profession, the MDA has grown to provide a wide array of services for dentists and dental team members, including continuing education, legislative advocacy, insurance programs, publications, practice management assistance, and endorsed member services. In an ever-changing practice environment, the MDA remains committed to greater success for its members and to protecting and improving the dental health of Michigan residents.
