King County

The Seattle-King County Dental Society is a membership society for the almost 1,700 dentists practicing in King County. Each of these dentists is also a member of the Washington State Dental Association and the American Dental Association.

Seattle-King County Dental Society provides a number of services to the general public (see below). In addition to those services, the Society provides many benefits to member dentists. Continuing Dental Education (a licensing requirement) as well as a quarterly newsletter are among several membership benefits.

The Society has a number of access to dental care initiatives including the ABCD (Access to Baby and Child Dentistry), the Donated Dental Services, and a free referral service. We also sponsor an annual “Give Kids A Smile Day” where our volunteer dentists pre-screen children who may have never seen a dentist before.

Seattle-King County Dental Society is closely affiliated with the Seattle-King County Dental Foundation. The Foundation is a 501 (c)3 organization that funds numerous programs and services in King County. The Seattle-King County Dental Society is also the sole shareholder in the Physicians and Dentists Credit Bureau.
