Districts-Component Societies
Membership in the MDA is a tripartite membership. The word “tripartite” is defined as “composed of three parts.” So the three parts of association membership include — membership through the local dental society or district, membership in the state organization or the Mississippi Dental Association, and membership in the national organization - the American Dental Association. Each level of membership complements the other and offers valuable benefits and resources to members.
Mississippi has six local dental districts.
