How to Join CDA
CDA membership is sometimes called tripartite membership. In other words, when you become a member of the CDA, you also become a member of the American Dental Association and your local dental society. As a tripartite member, you gain access to dental resources on the local, state and national levels.
It is now easier than ever to become a CDA member! If you are a licensed dentist in California, a full-time faculty member at one of the five California dental schools or a licensed California dentist serving full-time military duty, you are eligible for tripartite membership.
For more information about membership in other categories, including student/graduate student, affiliate, or provisional membership, call 800.CDA.SMILE.
