The ISDS Foundation’s 2026 grants reflect a commitment to serving Illinois’ most vulnerable populations—children, seniors, refugees, people with disabilities, and the uninsured. By supporting these innovative programs and essential services, the Foundation helps ensure brighter, healthier smiles across the state.

As a valued member of the Illinois State Dental Society, you have access to an exclusive benefit designed to protect your family's financial future — Group Term to Age 100 Life Insurance with Long-Term Care Coverage, offered through The Standard.

Reminder from the ISDS Speaker of the House of Delegates: (Per the ISDS Bylaws) “All resolutions considered by the House must be offered in writing by the President, the Board of Trustees, a Society committee, by one of the component societies, or signed by five (5) members in good standing provided such resolutions are received at the ISDS headquarters at least 30 days prior to the opening meeting of the House of Delegates.

Thanks to the advocacy efforts of the Illinois State Dental Society, the Illinois Dental Practice Act allows dentist and dental hygienists that are new graduates to practice under the delegation of a licensed “supervising” dentist while awaiting licensure.

The 2026 House of Delegates will be held August 28-29 at the Isle Casino Hotel in the Quad Cities.
