Welcome to the Ninth District Dental Association

The Ninth District Dental Society was formed in 1909 and renamed to the Ninth District Dental Association in 2002. We have a membership of over 1200 dentists in 5 counties: Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange and Putnam.

In its quest to serve both the public and the profession, the Ninth District embodies the highest ideals.

The mission of the 9th District Dental Association is to serve and support its members and the public by improving the oral health of our community through Advocacy, Continuing Education and Camaraderie.

The 9th Board approved creating a High School Career Day video to promote the dental field as a whole! Here's the link:

Deadline to use Phase 7 Provider Relief Fund reporting approaches

Jun 26, 2024

All dentists who received funds during the seventh phase of the Provider Relief Fund have until June 30 to use the money. 

The seventh Provider Relief Fund Reporting Period will open July 1 and remain open through Sept. 30 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Those who received one or more Provider Relief Fund and/or American Rescue Plan Rural payments surpassing $10,000 in the aggregate from Jan. 1 to June 30, 2023, are required to report on their use of funds to the PRF Reporting Portal. 

Originally established in 2020 by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, the Provider Relief Fund allowed dental providers to apply for payments for health care-related expenses or lost revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

For more information on appropriate uses of the payments, review the Allowable Expenses webpage. 

For more resources or to learn more about reporting, visit the How to Report and Reporting and Auditing webpages.
