With nearly 2,000 members practicing in Manhattan, NYCDS members have made a special commitment to uphold its ethical code and practice standards, as well as those of New York State and the American Dental Association. It is an invaluable advocacy and education resource that protects its members and the public.

Member Experience 

"Time and time again NYCDS has always been able to find answers to my difficult questions. I am grateful for such a reliable and trusted source of information and professional expertise."
Lisa S. Lin, DDS

"I've been taking CE courses for over 20 years, and I've had the best experience thus far with the NY County Dental Society. It has been really easy to register for the courses and I've always been greeted by a warm and friendly staff! The knowledgeable instructors have made learning enjoyable, especially with some of the mandatory courses."

Calling All Dentists! Make a Difference at GKAS NYCDS 2027!

Nov 12, 2026
It takes just half a day to make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

Give Kids A Smile NYCDS returns on February 5, 2027 (7:30 AM - 12:30 PM), and we need passionate dentists like you to help make it another successful year!


As our largest community outreach event of the year, our goal is to bring healthy smiles to approximately 1,200 underserved children across nine East Harlem schools. Each child will receive a dental screening, fluoride treatment, and fun oral health education, and a connection to follow-up care when needed. Important dental-health data is collected for the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.


Dentists, pediatric dentists, and dental team members play a vital role in shaping how these children view dental care. Your time, expertise, and kindness can turn what might otherwise be a fearful experience into one filled with trust, comfort, and positivity.


It’s just a half-day commitment! The best part? Your time and talent can make a lasting difference in a child’s life and help create positive dental experiences that stay with them for years to come. Help us make this day possible!


If you’re unable to volunteer on February 5, 2027, but know a dentist who might be interested, please help us spread the word! (We also encourage your dental team to register!)
