Quick Answer
The Idaho State Dental Association is the official professional organization representing dental health providers across Idaho. The association provides continuing education, legislative advocacy, practice support for members, and public dental health resources for providers and residents across Idaho.
The Idaho State Dental Association (ISDA) is the statewide professional membership organization for Idaho dentists and a constituent of the American Dental Association. ISDA represents the majority of Idaho dental professionals, and describes its mission as helping Idaho dentists succeed while supporting the advancement of public health.
ISDA advocates for sound oral health policy and the dentist-patient relationship at the Idaho Capitol, provides continuing education and leadership development, negotiates member practice benefits, and connects members through seven local component dental societies: the Idaho Panhandle, Lewis-Clark, South Central Idaho, Southeast Idaho, Southwest Idaho, Upper Snake River, and Western Treasure Valley dental societies. The association also publishes a weekly member e-newsletter, the Tuesday Tx, covering CE opportunities, legislative updates, practice resources, and events.
ISDA's office is located at 2404 Bank Drive, Ste. 210, Boise, Idaho 83705 (by appointment), phone (208) 343-7543. More information is available at theisda.org.
