Flying Dentists Association

Founded in 1960, the Flying Dentists Association was established to create a unique professional network for dentists who share a passion for aviation. Our organization specializes in delivering accredited continuing dental education through experiential travel programs that simultaneously enhance aviation skills and foster family connections. We curate tax-deductible educational trips to diverse domestic and international destinations, including ski resorts, Caribbean islands, and mission locations, where participants earn mandatory CEUs while engaging in recreational activities. Our members benefit from peer-to-peer knowledge sharing about clinical practices and aviation techniques during structured seminars and informal networking opportunities.

The association maintains three geographic districts to ensure accessible programming and offers specialized mission trips that combine dental care delivery with humanitarian service. Through strategic partnerships like our collaboration with the Flying Physicians Association, we expand professional development opportunities while maintaining rigorous accreditation standards through ADA CERP recognition. Our tax-exempt status enables members to maximize financial benefits while advancing their professional competencies in a distinctive learning environment.
