The Jacksonville Dental Society (JDS) is a shining star in the Northeast Area Dental Association (NEDDA). It is a long-standing organization that was founded on July 27, 1911 as the Jacksonville Dental Surgeons Association. Then, after years of baptism, it made a grand transition on December 5, 1969, and re-launched as the Jacksonville Dental Society, Inc. This dynamic organization is dedicated to providing member dentists and their support staff with a wealth of continuing education opportunities. Want to know how they do it? Hey, through a series of exciting "dinner meetings"! Want to know what speakersprograms are in this fiscal year? Take a look at our event calendar! And JDS is also the representative of the Greater Jacksonville Area Dental Organization. It currently has approximately 215 active members and 17 retired members! These members work together to make JDS go from strength to strength! It is worth mentioning that JDS is responsible for managing the annual "Give a Child a Smile" event. This event, usually held in the warm month of February, brings love and warmth to children, allowing them to have better childhood memories! So, dentists in the Greater Jacksonville area, don't hesitate! Come join the JDS family! Together, support the mission of regional dental education, community service, and professional friendship, and make our smiles more brilliant!
