Hispanic Dental Association
About Hispanic Dental Association
Headquartered in New Rochelle, NY, the Hispanic Dental Association represents a national community of oral health professionals and students united by a shared commitment to health equity and professional advocacy. Since its establishment in 1990, HDA has evolved into a trusted voice for Hispanic oral health, serving as a bridge between dental professionals, students, and the communities they serve. The organization's mission centers on providing service, education, research, advocacy, and leadership to promote overall health in Hispanic, Latinx, and underrepresented populations. HDA's vision empowers healthcare professionals to increase oral health equity and improve healthcare quality through collaborative partnerships and inclusive programming. The association works with a diverse spectrum of individuals and organizations—both Hispanic and non-Hispanic dental professionals—to advance oral health awareness and professional development. Beyond professional services, HDA demonstrates deep community roots through service and outreach programs committed to improving oral and overall health outcomes for underserved communities. The organization actively advocates for increasing underrepresented minorities in the dental profession, recognizing that diverse dental workforces better serve diverse populations. HDA's community-focused initiatives, combined with its strategic partnerships and sponsorship opportunities, reflect a holistic approach to advancing oral health equity across the nation.
