Each presentation will feature a recent graduate dentist who will talk about their journey in the profession. Every student who attends a Food For Thought and stays to the end will have a chance to win some cash, gift cards and t-shirts.

Join your colleagues on the New Dentist Network (NDN) Facebook page. The NDN allows engagement and participation across the state, for all dental students and new dentists. The network is an online meeting opportunity to attend scheduled New Dentist Committee meetings and special events. Participation in the NDN allows you to give input, interact with others and provide feedback on things that matter to you. Contact Paul if you're interested or have questions.

MDIS provides lunch for students taking the dental board exams in March/April and MDA/MDIS compiles membership benefit and insurance materials for the dental board candidates.

Dental students can attend any MDA continuing education meetings for free.

We want all 2024 grads to convert their student membership to dentist membership! Regardless of what's next—taking time off, continuing your education or going into practice—your national (ADA), state (MDA) and local society (component) want to ensure you're an active member to give you the support, knowledge and voice to thrive as an oral health champion. Click the "Convert My Membership" button to continue receiving benefits!
