The Minnesota Dental Association is a statewide non-profit professional membership organization based in Minneapolis that represents Minnesota-licensed dentists and dental students, with a membership exceeding 3,000. It advocates for policy and regulatory issues at the state level, focusing on scope of practice and public oral health and safety concerns. It also engages with regulatory agencies and third-party payers to resolve conflicts and recommend changes as needed. The association is active in public health initiatives, including Give Kids a Smile events that provide free dental care to children in need, and has collaborated on environmental health programs such as the Amalgam Recovery Program with the Met Council. In September 2025, the Leadership Conference in Minneapolis saw the installation of new officers and trustees, underscoring ongoing governance and leadership development.
