Empowering and connecting Asian American dental professionals
within the tri-state area
Our mission is to gather as dental healthcare professionals of Asian decent within the tri-state area (New York / New Jersey / Connecticut) to empower and support the future dental professionals within our communities. We seek to provide a supportive space to share our passion for oral health, while advocating for a lifelong commitment to education, mentorship and collaboration.
What members say about AADS:
“Inspired by my childhood dentist who was the first female dentist to study orthodontics abroad, and watching her practice grow, I pivoted from an architecture major to become a dentist. Now I use my passion for art and science to reconstruct, build and create smiles. All of my credit, however, goes to my mother, who always suggested the field of dentistry. Thank you mom!”
— Janet Y.
"When I look back at my dental career and education, I owe where I am to my mentors and peers who were willing to help me. I wish to do the same for those around me as well. As an Asian American, I am looking forward to our community gathering together."
— Jennifer K.
"I love AADS because it brings together minority groups that are often underrepresented in healthcare. Especially being a young, female Asian American dentist, I find it sometimes difficult to find a mentor and role model who share a similar background. I also think it's important to have an organization like this to advocate on behalf of patients from Asian communities."
