Alliance of the MDA
The Alliance (dental spouses) is committed to dental health
education in the community, legislative advocacy on behalf of the dental
profession, and the well being of the dental family.
An Overview
Who better understands what it means to be a dental spouse than another
dental spouse? Whether your dentist spouse is in general practice or a
specialty, we have a shared bond: we are raising families, working in our own
professions and volunteering in our communities.
