Welcome to the Iowa Dental Association

The Iowa Dental Association (IDA) is the premier professional association representing dentists in the state of Iowa. In existence since 1863, the IDA is home to over 1,800 Iowa dentists, which represents approximately 80% of the licensed dentists in the state.  

All IDA member dentists are not only members of the IDA, but also the American Dental Association (ADA) and their local district society.

IDA’s mission is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry, and to represent the interests of the members of the dental profession and the public which it serves.

IDA Insurance Reform Bill Signed Into Law

Jun 5, 2024
Published 4/16/24

Governor Reynolds signed the IDA dental insurance reform bill, HF 2400, into law on Wednesday, April 10. This is the first piece of dental insurance reform legislation passed in Iowa since 2010. 

Passage of this bill would not have been possible without the efforts of dentists across Iowa who contacted their legislators through our grassroots advocacy alerts. Your outreach helped legislators understand the importance of this legislation.
