Who we are:
The California Dental Association is a membership organization that represents 27,000 of the state’s best and brightest dental professionals and champions the oral health of the communities they serve.

Founded in 1870, CDA has innovated and grown into a family of companies that includes the association, The Dentists Insurance Company (TDIC), TDIC Insurance Solutions, Rotunda Partners and the CDA Foundation.
The largest of our subsidiaries, TDIC, is an insurance company founded in 1980 by a small group of California Dental Association members in response to skyrocketing malpractice premiums that impacted dentists’ ability to practice productively and patients’ ability to access care. Since that time, we’ve grown to protect 24,000+ policyholders across 15 states with a comprehensive suite of dentist-centric insurance products and risk management tools. With this singular focus and the unparallelled expertise of people who understand dentistry, we’ve earned the trust of our community.
Collectively, we’re a mission-driven organization that’s here to empower our members and support their practices, dental teams, profession and patients. By making today easier and tomorrow better for dentists, our employees make a meaningful and direct impact on the health of others.
At CDA we seek out, welcome and invest in talented individuals across unique specialties and prioritize diversity in our hiring practices.
