About Us
The Akron
Dental Society is a nonprofit professional organization
representing approximately 300 dentists in Summit and Portage
Counties. The Akron Dental Society is a component of the Ohio
Dental Association and the American Dental Association. Its
memberships consist of dentists, students, and other professionals
related to dentistry and endorsed by the society.
The Akron Dental Society is led by an
Executive Committee, a roster of elected officers that include
president, president-elect, vice president, secretary, treasurer and
immediate past-president. Officers are elected annually by the
membership along with council members.
The purpose of the society is to
improve the dental health of the public by providing support to our
member dentists. The society is also involved in promoting the
art, science and technology of the profession of dentistry.
Finally the society informs, represents and serves its members and the
public to ensure quality and safe dental care for all.
Members of the Akron Dental Society are
dedicated to the dental health of the community by participating in
programs which bring dentistry to people who are unable to afford
dental care. These programs include Dental Options, a program
adopted by the Ohio Dental Association which screens patient's needs
and assigns patients to participating dentists to provide the
care. The second program, "Give Kids a Smile" is a
single day event which provides dental care to children who are unable
to afford care.
In the month of February, the society
participates in Children's Dental Health Month. During this
month, Akron member dentists visit elementary schools in the community
educating students about the importance of good dental health.
The society is proud to recognize Dr. Graham who was instrumental in
taking this program nationwide.
