Support Dental Assisting Excellence in Nebraska
Welcome to the Nebraska Dental Assistants Association (NDAA), where we lead the efforts to promote dental assisting excellence in Nebraska. Founded in 1917, we are the first organized dental assistant society in the United States. We hold a regular annual session meeting and have several local chapters throughout the state that provide information on the work we do.
Why Become an NDAA Member
With a mission to serve our diverse members, we help foster a community of support, knowledge sharing, and professional advocacy. The NDAA plays a crucial role in ensuring that Nebraska’s dental assistants stay informed about dental assistant licensure requirements, continuing education, and expanded functions that enhance patient care and career opportunities.
NDAA Membership
Join the NDAA either as a professional, student, or life member. Professional members include dental assistants, such as clinical dental assistants, administrative dental assistants, and dental assistant educators. Student members are those enrolled in a dental assisting program, or who are graduates of a dental assisting program and enrolled full-time in either a dentistry program or in a college degree program. Life membership is granted to members who have remained active as professional members, or who have maintained continuous professional membership interrupted by student membership, for a period of thirty-five (35) years.

Licensed Dental Assistants
Becoming a licensed dental assistant (LDA) in Nebraska requires completing specific educational and training requirements, as well as passing the DA Jurisprudence Exam, a prerequisite for licensure. We support applicants through this process by providing resources and up-to-date information on licensure application steps.
Our Target Market
We welcome dental assistants in Nebraska and other dental professionals to join us as new members.
