About Us

The New Hampshire Dental Society is the professional association of dentists in New Hampshire. Its purpose is to:

  • promote the art and science of dentistry
  • represent member dentists
  • provide leadership, educational information and other services for member dentists
  • through its members insure the oral health of the people of New Hampshire.

The New Hampshire Dental Society speaks for dentistry of the state level on legislative, regulatory and dental issues involving the public. The society provides its members with quality continuing dental education programs, placement services as well as a variety of other services.

The society is composed of nine component dental societies that form the foundation of the constituent society as such and play a critical job in providing direction for the entire organization. Member dentists have a voice in their preferences in the manner in which the society functions.

The nerve center of the society is the central office, located at 23 South State St., Concord. Here all records are maintained and meetings held. Operation of the central office is supervised by the executive director, who is responsible to the president of the society and the board of trustees, and assists the officers and trustees in discharging duties. The central office has a full-time staff.

The central office works with allied health organizations in formulating programs designed to improve health services to the people of New Hampshire.

The official publication of the society is the "Granite State Dentist" newsletter containing news and reports of the activities of the society as well as local and national news of interest to dentistry.
