About Us
United in Oral Health. Successful in Partnership.
As an individual dentist, your practice may feel like an island—limited in its ability to influence laws, create large-scale programs, or advocate for change. But when we unite, our collective voice shapes the future of dentistry.
By joining the Howard County Dental Association, you also become part of the Maryland State Dental Association and the American Dental Association through tripartite membership. This powerful collaboration ensures that your goals, your patients, and your profession are protected and advanced at the local, state, and national levels.
Raising oral health awareness and working to expand access to care for those in need.
Why HCDA Matters

-

-
Build Community – Connect with peers, mentors, and leaders who share a passion for oral health.
-
Shape the Future – Join forces to strengthen dentistry’s impact on public health and patient well-being.
