Mid-Peninsula Dental Society (MPDS)

The Mid-Peninsula area became a potential dental society entity after World War II as the dentists practicing in the area increased in number. The concept of a Mid-Peninsula Dental Society was conceived at the Tuesday luncheons of a small group of local dentists. These men had the vision and courage to recognize a mutual professional need for such a society which would include dentists in Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Los Altos. California Dental Association President, William S. Smith, officially presented the charter January 19, 1956.

Mission:
The Mid-Peninsula Dental Society supports our dentists in creating and sustaining vibrant, active practices while improving the health of their community through service, education and advocacy. They create a cohesive, supportive community to bring together their individual members.
