In an agreement announced today, CDA’s The Dentists Supply Company (TDSC) will join a new parent company, Henry Schein Inc., in late October.

Maintaining TDSC’s model and mission

An advisory council for TDSC.com, Powered by Henry Schein is being formed to help ensure member value stays at the forefront of the company’s purpose.
