2026 New Dues Structure for Early Career Dentists

The Oregon Dental Association is excited to announce a new initiative aimed at supporting early-career dentists. With the passage of Resolution BOT 1-25 at the 2025 Oregon House of Delegates, early-career dentists will benefit from a new dues structure for state and local dues. This is designed to ease financial pressures during the transition from student to practitioner.

Winter Webinar Series

Held in January, February, and March, these free webinars focus on Oregon Board of Dentistry required courses. The webinars are all scheduled before the OBD’s March 31 deadline so you can complete your required CE in a free and easy way. Course topics include infection control, cultural competency, and medical emergencies. Since Winter Webinars are virtual, you’ll be able to earn CE from the comfort of your home or office—no travel required!
