We’ve Come a Long Way

 

In 1913, there were only seven dentists located in Orange County.  These seven dentists were then members of the Los Angeles Dental Society.  In 1919, a small group of Orange County dentists, got together and established the Orange County Dental Society.  It became apparent that the local society would be a success and so,  in  December of 1921, they officially applied for a charter with the Southern California Dental Association.  On April 14, 1948, the Orange County Dental Society was officially incorporated as a 501(c)6, non-profit organization.

 

From our humble beginnings in 1919, we have grown from a mere seven visionary members to 1,900 dedicated Orange County members making us the largest ofthe 32 California components.
