Oral care access, Lancaster PA

Welcome to the official web site of the Lancaster County Dental Society. The society has a long and distinguished history. A Dental Association was formed in May 1867, after a meeting of a number of dentists from Lancaster city and county. The new association was named the Harris Dental Association of Lancaster, PA, in honor of Dr. Chapin Harris who was instrumental in getting the University of Maryland to add dental training to the medical department of the college in 1839. Through the vision and dedication of this group of dentists, they established the 4th oldest dental society in America. The name change to the Lancaster County Dental Society was made in1954.

The Society has approximately 230 active members and 45 retired dentist members. Other active dental health related groups in the area include the Alliance of the Lancaster County Dental Society and the Lancaster County Dental Hygiene and Assistants Association.

The purpose of the web site is to keep our members abreast of upcoming continuing education meetings, list upcoming member events, discuss any legislative issues related towards our profession and keeping us informed about our community.  Our hope is that our members access the site and find it helpful and informative.
