ASDA is the largest association dedicated to dental students and has been an emphasis at all dental schools since the organization was founded in 1971.

Over 80% of dental students in the U.S. and Puerto Rico are members of ASDA. ASDA represents the interests of all dental students. This is in contrast with other student organizations that focus on specialties or special interest groups. The strength of ASDA lies in our numbers. ASDA serves as the voice for dental student issues in organized dentistry. The larger our membership, the stronger our voice and concerns are heard when we are advocating, whether it be at the ADA House of Delegates, the state societies, or in Congress.

ASDA officers vote in the ASDA House of Delegates on matters pertaining to dental education and dental practice. ASDA meetings also provide opportunities to learn about issues not taught in dental school, develop leadership skills to use throughout their career and network with hundreds of dental students from schools across the nation.

ASDA is a student-run organization. Dental student members lead ASDA national Board of Trustees, its districts and chapters. Dental student members also comprise ASDA House of Delegates. ASDA is an extension of dental school by providing members the opportunity to develop meaningful leadership skills that will be an asset in their professional roles after dental school.

ASDA provides students an introduction to organized dentistry. When joining ASDA, students also become a student member of the ADA. ASDA members participate in activities and events sponsored by local, state, regional and national dental organizations. Leaders of the Missouri State Dental Association meet with the ASDA chapter.

Most students will join the American Dental Association, their state association and local dental society following graduation. Participation in ASDA during dental school prepares them for leadership roles, involvement in governmental activities and skills to run a business.

BridgeUSA is a multi-partisan student movement that champions viewpoint
diversity, responsible discourse, and a solution-oriented political culture. We
are developing a generation of leaders that value empathy and constructive
engagement because our generation will bear the cost of polarization and
tribalism for years to come.
We believe that polarization is damaging our country and causing young
people to either disengage from democracy or radically engage by fitting a
partisan mold. Democracy is in danger if the next generation is disengaged
and polarized because young people are the future of our country.
The purpose of BridgeUSA is to build a BridgeUSA community — one in which
students from across the ideological spectrum can engage as a group
working together to understand — to bridge — the various perspectives
behind the important political and social issues of our time.
We rise above party. We do not force unity or compromise. We believe in the
BridgeUSA Mindset: Viewpoint diversity, constructive engagement, and a
solution-oriented political culture.
