The Vermont State Dental Society (VSDS) is the state's professional association for dentists and the Vermont affiliate of the American Dental Association. With just under 400 members, VSDS represents more than 80 percent of practicing dentists in the state. The Society is governed by an elected Executive Board under its founding bylaws.

Mission: The Vermont State Dental Society advocates for evidence-based public policies to advance the dental profession and improve the oral health of Vermonters.
Vision: For Vermont to maintain a strong oral healthcare delivery system that provides high-quality, patient-centered dental care.

Expanding dental education In September 2024, VSDS announced a partnership with the University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) — backed by Senators Sanders and Welch — to bring a CODA-accredited Dental Oral Health Education Center to Vermont. Students will complete two years of foundational study at UDM's Detroit campus followed by two clinical years at a new Vermont-based clinic, with a tentative Chittenden County (Colchester) location, targeting the 2027 academic year and aiming to expand Vermont's dentist pipeline.
