Who We Are

This society is neither a regulatory body nor an educational institute.
However, it can play a pivotal role for both ourselves and the people we serve: our patients.

The mission of the Edmonton & District Dental Society is to support Edmonton and area dental professionals by:

  • providing professional education
  • providing networking opportunities
  • promoting dentistry as a profession
  • contribute to the community
Celebrating 100 Years

In 2013, the EDDS celebrated its 100th anniversay.

Our Vision is to continuously promote excellence in Dental Health Care Education.

Our goal is to provide an environment for continual renewal, self-renewal with a congenial social atmosphere and a progressive curriculum.

We help foster a positive attitude for our profession, as a caring group displaying leadership in our community.

President's Message

Another year has passed. Individually and collectively we have experienced changes and challenges in our Dental environment. Spanning from financial challenges to upcoming changes in the practice of Sedation Dentistry.

Alberta is clearly a leader in Dentistry. We’re blessed with exceptional educational facilities, educators, mentors and clinicians alike. Our provincial College and Association has consistently produced exceptional guidelines that are highly regarded from all quarters.
Our future in Dentistry will rely on this continued effort from all Dental Professionals, Teams, and Staff in Alberta. Continuing to maintain a close eye on bettering patient care and outcomes, and the work-life balance is paramount.

We are forever thankful to our distinguished partners, corporate sponsors and exhibitors.

My deepest thanks and appreciation for your attendance and support of the Edmonton District Dental Society. As the current President I am at your service, and always interested in hearing thoughts, concerns, and feedback on our proud organization.

Dr. Claudia Martin
EDDS President.
