Overview

Mission

To further the education of dental professionals

What it reported doing in 2025

Educational programs - the society holds two annual meetings. One of the meetings provides continuing education for its members. The meetings are held once in the summer and once in the winter. The meetings allow the members to further their education and earn continuing education credits which are required under state law. In addition, the society held 12 local affiliate meetings that also provided continuing education credits. The explorer - the explorer is the society's newsletter which is published four times per year to inform its members of society news items. Referral programs - the society also provides a referral service to the general public. Inquiring individuals are given the names of three different members practicing in the geographic area they desire and are furnished information regarding the practitioners educational and professional background.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 63% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
