ODDS & NDA

The Omaha District Dental Society and the Nebraska Dental Association

When you join the ADA Tripartite, your membership includes benefits from the ADA, the Nebraska Dental Association (state / constituent) and the Omaha District Dental Society (local / component.)

The ODDS and the NDA work closely to provide a seamless stream of membership services and activities.

The Mission of the NDA: The NDA is a unified organization of individual members committed to: encourage improvement of the health of the public; promote the art and science of dentistry; and represent the interests of its members and the public whom it serves.

The History of the NDA: Established in 1868, the 985 member Nebraska Dental Association is a professional membership association of persons licensed to practice dentistry in Nebraska. Through its active members, the Association strives to promote and enhance the dental profession by assuring a proper, legal framework in which to practice, promoting educational opportunities to learn the "states-of-the-art" in dental techniques and technologies and increasing public awareness of good dental practice.
