Society of American Indian Dentistinc

The Society of American Indian Dentists is a small group of visionary leaders in Indigenous dentistry who believe we are both subject-expert professionals and members of our tribal communities. It is not possible to separate the two. Decisions are based on professional and personal knowledge and experience, with the mission and values of SAID informing direction and action.

Our perspective includes the belief that no one can be as uniquely qualified to treat our people as we are. It remains of utmost importance for Native American people to gain equal representation as providers in the field of dentistry for our people to achieve oral health parity. American Indians and Alaska Natives currently suffer from the worst oral health outcomes in comparison to any racial or ethnic group within the United States. We intend to turn the tide by helping to educate more AI/AN dentists.

Join us in shaping the future of Indigenous dentistry! Your support can make a transformative impact by helping the Society of American Indian Dentists fulfill its mission: to address the unique needs of Indigenous dentists while increasing their presence across the United States. Together, we can empower Indigenous communities and advance their vital role in dentistry. Donate today!
