About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Association / Union
Mission: 

We envision Maryland as home to a healthy community where no dental disease is left untreated. Our mission: to improve the oral health of Marylanders through education and support of programs that improve access to dental care.

Programs: 

The MSDAF is dedicated to advancing the oral healthcare of the public by supporting outreach programs that offer dental care and oral health education to underserved populations. The MSDA believes that all Marylanders, regardless of barriers to care, should be the beneficiaries of the finest dental treatment. The MSDA membership is the majority of this state's oral health care givers and providers of dental treatment and is dedicated to improve access to needed oral healthcare and help to eliminate health disparities.

The MSDAF will be focusing its fundraising efforts on helping outreach initiatives to meet the need to address both access to oral care as well as the utilization of this care.​

THE MISSION OF MERCY was the first Outreach program supported by the MSDAF. In an effort to increase access to quality dental care, MSDA members volunteered their time and professional skills by partnering with local organizations to provide oral healthcare for individuals who suffered due to lack of financial resources and economic hardships. This model of access to care through volunteerism is the hallmark of the Mission of Mercy outreach program.
