The San Gabriel Valley Dental Society is the local component of the American Dental Society and the California Dental Association. San Gabriel Valley Dental Society is comprised of over 1000 member dentists who practice within the San Gabriel Valley.
The privilege of being a dentist comes with a responsibility to society and to fellow members of the profession to conduct ones professional activities in a highly ethical manner. California Dental Association (CDA) members agree to abide by the tenets embodied in the American Dental Association (ADA) Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct (ADA Code) and the CDA Code of Ethics.
We began as part of the District of Los Angeles County Dental Society, a component of the State Dental Society, which was a constituent of ADA. At that time, Los Angeles County was divided into five societies. The societies werent recognized by the ADA or State, they were simply known as 'LA County.'
In the early 1960s each of the five areas became independent 'components' with defined borders. In 1966, the Second District Dental Society officially changed its name to the San Gabriel Valley Dental Society. Our current Society building was purchased 1989 and remains where the Board of Directors holds their meetings and the Society functions are held.
Today, San Gabriel Valley Dental Society is comprised of over 1,000 dentists with 70% of the market share. We are a diverse group of individuals and welcome new members to join us. Our members are dedicated to the profession of dentistry and to serving the publics oral health needs. We support one another with continuing education, resources, and advocacy.
