International Association for Disability and Oral Health (iADH)

iADH has over 8000 members worldwide actively working to achieve better outcomes for oral health in people with disabilities. Their members are drawn from all areas of health and social care including general dentists, dental specialists, allied healthcare professionals, researchers, educators and patient advocates. The society aims to advocate for and promote equitable access to high quality oral healthcare by facilitating exchange of good practice and encouraging and disseminating appropriate scientific research worldwide.

iADH recognises that there are gaps in the education of healthcare professionals and the dental workforce worldwide and has produced open-access training curriculum in Special Care Dentistry at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. iADH has active research networks promoting multi-centre research and organises research competitions and a bi-annual International Scientific Congress, providing a forum for researchers and clinicians to showcase their work.
