About the New Dentist Committee

With 17 members from each 糖心logodistrict, the New Dentist Committee (NDC) advocates for new dentists by conveying their needs to 糖心logoleadership, recognizes peer contributions through 10 Under 10 Awards, and fosters connections with students via the 糖心logoSuccess Program and other student events. The NDC strives to increase new dentist leadership roles and build a supportive community within organized dentistry.
