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 1500 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.

For many people, a good job offers purpose through meaningful work. For people in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD), such purpose can be a powerful driver of sustained sobriety. This month, during National Recovery Month, USDOL is highlighting our support for all workers with SUD or in recovery. Read Assistant Secretary Taryn M. Williams’ recent post on the U.S. Department of Labor blog and see our new resource, SUD in the Workplace, which contains a toolkit to help employers develop recovery-ready workplace policies, a guide for employers on supporting workers with SUD, and a companion guide for workers themselves.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds extraordinary potential to increase opportunity and access for workers with disabilities. But these same technologies come with risks. Depending on how they are designed and implemented, AI can potentially violate civil rights laws, undermine existing labor rights, or create new barriers to economic opportunities. To advance inclusive technology, USDOL funds the Partnership on Employment and Accessible Technology (PEAT), an initiative that offers employers resources and practical guidance on disability inclusion when they choose to adopt AI. One new resource is the AI and Disability Inclusion Toolkit, which can help organizations mitigate discrimination and reduce bias in their AI technologies and make AI implementation more equitable.
