Dental Events
Over the years, the Dental Accounting Association participates in dental trade shows, invites outside speakers for educational purposes, and collaborates on best practices. In many ways, the group is analogous to a dental study club.
The Dental Accounting Association has participated and had a booth at the American Dental Association Annual (ADA), American Association of Orthodontists Annual (AAO), and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Annual (AAPD), along with other shows.
As each member's practice has grown, we no longer maintain booths at national trade shows due to the time commitment involved.
Individually, members of the Dental Accounting Association also participate in and support local dental trade shows including:
- California Dental Association (CDA)
- Florida Dental Convention
- The Texas Dental Association
- Star of the South
- Ohio Dental Association
- Rocky Mountain Dental Association
- North Carolina Dental Show
- Gulf Coast Dental Show
- Several other regional dental events
Dental Associations
To further our knowledge of the dental industry, some members of the Dental Accounting Association are also active members of:
- Academy of Dental Management Consultants (ADMC)
- National CPA Health Care Advisors Association (Dental CPAs is a sub-group of HCAA)
- State and local dental associations
- Smaller dental study clubs
