Missouri Dental Association :: Alliance of the MDA

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.

The Alliance of the MDA (AMDA) is a constituent of the Alliance of the ADA (AADA).  It is the mission of the Alliance to work to promote and support the profession of dentistry, in the public arena, the marketplace and the home.
