About us:
Their aim is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of the members of the profession and the public they serve. QCDS can assist patients seeking a dentist in their area by providing names and addresses of member dentists convenient to the patient’s location.
QCDS is one of thirteen component members of the New York State Dental Association (NYSDA) which in turn is a member of the American Dental Association(ADA). Under this tripartite system, QCDS members belong to both the NYSDA and the ADA as well as to QCDS.
The not-for-profit ADA is the nation’s largest dental association, representing more than 156,000 dentist members. The premier source of oral health information, the ADA has advocated for the public’s health and promoted the art and science of dentistry since 1859. The ADA’s state-of-the-art research facilities develop and test dental products and materials that have advanced the practice of dentistry and made the patient experience more positive. The ADA Seal of Acceptance long has been a valuable and respected guide to consumer dental care products. JADA, a monthly journal, is the ADA’s flagship publication and the best-read scientific journal in dentistry.
