Second District Dental Society of New York

SDDS represents dentists from Kings and Richmond Counties and is a component of the American Dental Association and the New York State Dental Association.

The Second District Dental Society (SDDS) represents the dentists from Kings County (Brooklyn) and Richmond County (Staten Island). We have approximately 1,500 members representing close to 70% of all active dentists in these areas. The Society was formed in 1868 and has been an active and committed representative for the dentists of our area since that time. We are the local component of the New York State Dental Association (NYSDA) and the American Dental Association (ADA). Our Society is governed by a 25-member Board of Trustees. The Society also has representation to NYSDA (governors) and the ADA (delegates). The Second District Dental Society has one branch society, the Richmond County Dental Society. For the benefit of its membership, the Society also sponsors the programming of a number of established local study groups in Brooklyn and Staten Island. The Richmond County Dental Society has nearly 300 dentists living and working in the borough of Staten Island. This branch society of the SDDS provides opportunities for its members to meet monthly, conducts community outreach programs and education, and is involved with local issues affecting Staten Island's dental professionals.
