ISDS offers certification courses throughout the state to enable dental assistants and hygienists to fulfill the educational requirements as stated in Illinois law for expanded functions.

If you are a member of the Illinois State Dental Society (ISDS), we are making sure you receive the latest updates regarding the COVID-19 vaccine in Illinois as soon as they become available.

Outreach to local health departments will raise awareness to our status in the 1a phase and develop plans of how oral health providers will receive the vaccine. With this local outreach being instrumental to our plan, we will be contacting our ISDS component leaders with more information. Once this has been accomplished, we will send a follow up to our membership as soon as possible.

If you need gloves for your practice, ISDS members are invited to participate in a bulk-buy program through Independent Dental Solutions and Midway Dental, to ensure you have sufficient stock in the coming months and can avoid being at the mercy of price fluctuations in the future. Orders will be accepted between 11/18-12/11/2020.
