Join/Renew

78% of the dentists in San ​Joaquin, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties are members of our society. When you join the San Joaquin Dental Society, you also join the American and the California Dental Associations. By doing so you are entitled to all the benefits of the leaders in organized dentistry at the national, state and local levels.

By becoming a member of organized dentistry, you will enjoy unique  benefits that will help ensure that your voice is heard and give you opportunities to engage and network with the dental community. Becoming a member of SJDS is now easier than ever. One application handles your membership for SJDS, The California Dental Association (CDA) and the American Dental Association (ADA).
