At the Pediatric Dental Assistants Association, we pride ourselves in our training, events, and educational content afforded to all members. With regularly updated content, videos, real world advice, and events, membership in the PDTA is something pediatric dentists around the country are finding incredibly valuable for their team and practice.
Instead of hearing about the value of membership in the PDTA from us, take a few moments to read what real-life members have to say about the organization, events, and what it means to them and their dental practice!
After reviewing the testimonials, if you have any questions about membership or how to join the PDTA, feel free to contact us, here. And if you’d like to increase the profitability of your pediatric dental practice, download our free guide, here.
“All of the assistants in my practice are members of PDTA and they really love being a part of their professional organization. It gives them insight to the big picture of pediatric dentistry, outside the walls of our day to day practice.
After attending the PDTA Annual meeting, they returned with a greater sense of professionalism and drive, saying they were inspired and motivated! Additionally, our group of assistants really bonded which has been a huge bonus!
They now have a fun sense of teamwork which benefits everyone in the practice!“

“I have been very impressed with the training modules offered by the Pediatric Dental Assistants Association.
Not only do we use them to help train new staff members, but we use them for our staff meetings to keep our communication skills sharp. My dental assistants were so pleased when we provided membership in the PDTA for them!
Being members in a professional organization just for them has elevated their sense of pride in their careers. The professionalism of our team has really increased.
Thank you for providing this opportunity for personal and professional growth for pediatric dental assistants!”

I have enjoyed using the PDTA website. I have learned new techniques to develop and perfect my work. PDTA has multiple skillful video presentations filled with information and advice. I especially like that I can return to these videos at a later date and continue to improve.
