Join The MSDA, a tripartitie structure

By joining the Maryland State Dental Association (MSDA), members automatically join their local component societies in their immediate practice areas and ADA. Through this arrangement, members receive services and benefits related to organized dentistry at local/district, state and national levels.

Tripartite membership is mutually supportive. The unity it fosters produces a consistent voice across the country and at the international level. By joining together, fewer activities are duplicated; this allows each society to concentrate on providing the services it performs best and most efficiently.

Membership in the Maryland State Dental Association has many benefits designed not only to help you in your daily practice but also to further the development of the dental profession. Discover the valuable ways MSDA membership can help you navigate challenges in your career, business and life.

If you would like to join and prefer to submit an online application, click here. If you have been an MSDA member in the past and would like to renew your membership, you do not need to fill out the application — please contact MSDA Membership for reinstatement information.

For questions about becoming a member, dues amounts, waivers and more, contact MSDA Membership. For answers to questions such as "How much are dues?" or "How long does my membership last?", please see Frequently Asked Questions about ADA Membership.

Renew Your MSDA Membership

Membership dues should be remitted in full or through an installment payment plan established by Jan. 1st of each calendar year. If dues have not been paid in full or an installment payment plan is not established, members will discontinue receiving tripartite membership benefits as of Mar. 31st of each calendar year.

For questions about your membership dues statement, contact MSDA Membership.

MSDA Members have options for paying membership dues online:

Click here to pay dues online!

PAY IN FULL – Simply use your ADA login information to pay your membership dues.

What do you do if you do not remember you ADA User ID or password? You can retrieve and/or reset your User ID and/or password at “I forgot my User ID or password.”

DUES INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLANS- MSDA offers monthly installment payment plans.

There is no additional fee to pay your dues through an installment payment plan. You can opt into the installment plan options when you pay online or contact MSDA Membership for assistance.

No refunds will be provided for cancelled memberships. By enrolling in a membership, the “membership year” spans a calendar year from January through December and not a 12-month period from the date of enrollment. If plan payments are cancelled before dues are paid in full for the current year, membership will be cancelled and all benefits will cease.

AUTO-RENEWAL - SET UP AUTOMATIC RENEWAL AND YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MISSING A MEMBERSHIP DUES PAYMENT!

Members have a new way to pay dues that provides a safe and convenient way to maintain membership and benefits. The Auto-Renewal Plan allows your dues to be automatically renewed and paid with your credit card each year. 

The MSDA will process annual auto-renewal one-time payments in January each year.

No refunds will be provided for cancelled memberships. By enrolling in a membership, the “membership year” spans a calendar year from January through December and not a 12-month period from the date of enrollment. If plan payments are cancelled before dues are paid in full for the current year, membership will be cancelled and all benefits will cease.
