The Diverse Dental Society (DDS) is a unique entity comprised of three universally respected and culturally diverse organizations: the Hispanic Dental Association, the National Dental Association, and the Society of American Indian Dentists. These groups celebrate their rich and diverse cultures, share a common mission to address unmet needs in under-resourced communities, and leverage their collective impact to eliminate disparities and increase health and oral health equity.
DDS promotes inter-professional collaboration and considers the integration of oral health throughout the healthcare infrastructure as essential for a healthier nation. Their manifesto includes dismantling structural racism and advocating for social justice in the health of traditionally disenfranchised populations.
