For over eighty years the American Dental Assistant Association has been there for the dental assistant’s throughout the United States. The organization was founded to promote awareness that continuing education is needed in the field and also to encourage dental assistants to become certified and register with the program. The list of benefits for joining the ADAA is long and beneficial, so you might want to look into it further.

Dental care assistants have a lot of responsibility. Sometimes they work in small offices that do not provide insurance. That is where the ADAA steps in to help. The organization provides lines of credit, insurance, travel and leisure services. They can also provide you with salary comparisons for other health care assistants around the country so you will know where you are in comparison. That is a very valuable tool when it comes time to negotiate your next raise or when it comes time to find a new job, especially if increasing your dental assistant salary is always on top of your “to do” list.

Have you ever heard of the Juliette Southard Scholarship? Chances are that you have not unless you are a member of the America Dental Assistant Association. The scholarship is just one of the many perks you can receive once you join the organization. Now do not misunderstand that statement. You are not guaranteed a scholarship simply because you become a member, but you do have the chance to apply.
