What known as the All India Dental Association in pre-independent era
was emerged in 1946 as the Indian Dental Association (IDA). For the past
60 years, the IDA is the sole authority in the Indian oral health care.
As a guide of people's oral heath we help the Dept.of Health Ministry in
the implementation of oral health regulation.
IDA remains unchallenged in its efforts to promote oral health through
generating knowledge, patient's awareness, proper guidance and right
recommendation across the country.
IDA is the close-knit organization of the professional members. All the
members are united under the umbrella of IDA. A Dentist who may be from
the remotest corner of the country is never feeling secluded if he has
the membership of IDA. IDA assures a member an assertive protection,
necessary guidance and helps him to become well versed in the sphere of
Oral Health Care.
