About the ADA Dentist Health and Wellness Program

The ADA Dentist Health and Wellness program offers personal assistance, including referral information on treatment facilities for alcohol and other drug dependence, evaluations, and state well-being committee contacts.

For the name and contact number of the Dentist Well-Being Committee or other services in your state, and other ADA Well-Being Program resources, call the member toll-free number, x2622, or 312-440-2622, or e-mail keatingl@ada.org.

The program area, previously known as the Dentist Well-Being Program, has been renamed Dentist Health and Wellness and covers support for our disabled dentists, some of our activities related to ergonomics and dental practice, and resources to help dentists be more proactive in looking at their own health and wellness.
