American College of Dentists

About This Association

For a century, the American College of Dentists has been a persistent voice for ethics and professionalism in oral healthcare. Long regarded as the “conscience of dentistry,” we continue to be a hub for a dynamic array of activities, including an online continuing education program focused on dental ethics and professionalism, reaching over 100,000 oral health professionals globally. Founded in 1972, the ACD Foundation generously funds our continuing education and other initiatives including scholarships for advanced studies in ethics and leadership, ethics resource materials for more than 7,000 dental students annually, and sponsorship of activities that position ethics, leadership, and professionalism at the forefront of local dental groups and other national dental organizations.
