The mission of the Missouri Dental Association New Dentist Committee is to be the voice and front line resource to new dentists throughout the tripartite who have been out of dental school for less than 10 years, to demonstrate the value of membership, and to focus on the needs of new dentists and dental students through the development of resources, education, facilitation of networking opportunities and advocacy.

Student Liaison from the UMKC School of Dentistry and A.T. Still University serves on the state New Dentist Committee.

The House is the supreme authority of the Association, and in addition to other business, delegates bring forward and vote on resolutions, determine annual dues, elect Association officers and honor award recipients.

• The House consists of 52 voting members, which includes delegates from each of eight component societies and two student delegates from each dental school.
• The House provides a forum for the discussion and resolution of issues and for the dissemination of information to its members and thus to their component societies and ultimately to each individual member of the MDA.
