Journal of the American Dental Association

Aims & Scope

There is not a single source or solution to help dentists in their quest for lifelong learning, improving dental practice, and dental well-being.

JADA+, along with The Journal of the American Dental Association, is striving to do just that, bringing together practical content covering dentistry topics and procedures to help dentists—both general dentists and specialists—provide better patient care and improve oral health and well-being.

This is a work in progress; as we add more content, covering more topics of interest, it will continue to expand, becoming an ever-more essential source of oral health knowledge.
