About us
The Texas Dental Association (TDA), chartered in 1871, is the third largest state dental association in the United States. Currently, the Association has more than 9,000 members and is comprised of 26 component dental societies grouped into 4 divisions across the state of Texas. The TDA is part of a tri-partite affiliation with the American Dental Association, as its national representative, and its component societies at the local level. The TDA Board of Directors, the executive body of the Association, is composed of 15 voting members and 2 non-voting ex officio members. The House of Delegates, the legislative body of the Association, is composed of 141 delegates representing 26 component societies, members of the Board of Directors, the speaker of the house, and 1 student delegate from each of the 3 dental schools in Texas. The House meets during TDA's Annual Session. The Association's councils and committees serve as policy recommending agencies. Each of these is assigned to study issues relating to its special area of interest and to make recommendations on these matters to the Board of Directors and the House of Delegates. The Association's official publication is the Texas Dental Journal. Published since 1883, it is the oldest continuously operating dental periodical in the Americas. The Texas Dental Association's central office in Austin employs a staff of 26 professionals.

AAPI Heritage Month was established to celebrate the many contributions that Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans made to this country. As May comes to an end, I have reflected upon what this month means to me as a first-generation Asian American. My parents were both born in the Philippines, but found their way to the United States in search of greater opportunity. I am so grateful for the sacrifices my parents have made; I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to start over in a completely new country, halfway around the world. My parents taught my brother and me that with hard work and honesty, anything is possible and no dream is too big. The greatest lesson my parents taught us is that family always comes first. They are a living testament to this through all the quiet sacrifices they have and continue to make for our family. My parents inspire me through all they have done to provide our family with the gift of opportunity. Growing up, I realized that my upbringing was different from my peers who had parents who were natural American citizens. It was uncomfortable to feel unalike through dissimilarities in customs, traditions, and foods. I had the internal conflict of feeling different from my American peers, while also feeling different from my family and friends in the Philippines—the contradictory struggle of not feeling “American enough,” while also not feeling “Filipino enough.” I found connections through my friends who were also children of immigrants, who shared this experience. I gained a greater appreciation for my Filipino culture and heritage when I realized that our differences are what makes our country special. I am thankful for my non-traditional American upbringing—it taught me that “different” does not mean “bad” or “less than,” but rather “unique.” For more, visit tda.org/aapi

TDA and component societies help dentists and patients resolve disputes, outside the courtroom through the peer review program. In addition to patient-initiated complaints, peer review handles utilization review resulting from differences of opinions between doctors and third-party carriers. Renew Today! tda.org/join-renew
