IDEAS25 Coming to Des Moines

IDEAS is returning to the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, May 8-10, 2025. We hope to see you there!

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.

Dr. Sara Stuefen Installed as ADA 10th District Trustee

Dec 10, 2024
Published 11/15/24

On Tuesday, October 22, IDA member Dr. Sara Stuefen was installed as ADA 10th District Trustee during the House of Delegates meeting in New Orleans. As our new district trustee, Dr. Stuefen will represent Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota for the next four years. 

When it was time to elect a new trustee, Dr. Stuefen had no doubt that she wanted to run. “Organized dentistry is my passion. There's nothing else that has such great potential to impact the profession. It's an honor to be able to serve in any capacity, let alone as trustee,” she said.

Dr. Stuefen brings enthusiasm and a unique perspective to the ADA Board as she will serve as one of the youngest members of the board. “I do feel pressure (being one of the youngest), but really, I hope that others that want to get involved, but are hesitant because they think they're too young, unqualified, or inexperienced will jump in. If I can do it, anyone else can too," says Dr. Stuefen.

The ADA’s mission is to help dentists succeed and support the advancement of the health of the public. Dr. Stuefen will help to strengthen and advance the impact of the ADA during her time serving on the board and says that ultimately, her motivation lies in the fact that, “A strong ADA means empowered dentists and healthier patients.”

Congratulations, Dr. Stuefen! We know you’ll do great things!
