The North Texas Hispanic Dental Association

Promoting Oral Health in the Hispanic Community

The North Texas Hispanic Dental Association (NTHDA) is a professional chapter of the Hispanic Dental Association, a national organization established in 1990. An association of Hispanic dentists, we strive to increase oral health awareness throughout the Hispanic population in North Texas in an effort to enhance lives and build a stronger, healthier society. Our organization encourages Hispanics to take an interest in oral health careers, and we provide tools and support to individuals already working with the Hispanic population.

With members that include practicing Hispanic and non-Hispanic dentists, dental educators, and allied dental professionals as well as dental students, the North Texas Hispanic Dental Association works with various groups to enrich education, advance research, and communicate oral health issues and concerns that relate specifically to the Hispanic community. We have a deep knowledge of oral health problems that impact the Hispanic population, and our members share relevant information with both Hispanic dental professionals and the entire community. Some experts project a U.S. population that will be 40 percent Hispanic in the near future, so we want to comprehensively address the needs and issues of this expanding population segment.
