New Mexico Dental Association

The New Mexico Dental Association (NMDA), founded in 1908 — four years before New Mexico statehood — is the state's affiliate of the American Dental Association (ADA) and one of New Mexico's oldest professional organizations. NMDA is governed by a board of officers and trustees, all of whom are licensed dentists.

NMDA's stated mission is to promote oral and general health care in New Mexico, advance the art and science of dentistry, represent the interests of dental professionals, and foster awareness of the profession's obligations to society. NMDA also notes that member dental practices contribute millions of dollars and thousands of jobs to the state's economy each year.
