Tripartite Membership

The Power of Three

When you become a member of the Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA), you are also joining the American Dental Association (ADA) as well as the local and district societies in your immediate practice area.

This is known as the tripartite structure and it allows you to receive benefits and services related to organized dentistry at local, state and national levels. Being a part of organized dentistry is an important transition from dental school.
