Additional Information

The AAID offers prorated dues for members joining April 1 with the membership cycle running from January 1 to December 31. Prorated amounts are available for certain member types, often allowing new members to pay an adjusted rate for the remainder of the current year.  After October 1 members joining can pay an adjusted amount for the rest of the year alongside dues for the following year.
A current AAID member who is unable to practice dentistry due to an injury or illness or has experienced an office catastrophe that interrupts the practice (e.g., damage from a hurricane, tornado, or fire) is eligible for a dues waiver. Those who wish to apply for a dues waiver must complete this application. All dues waiver requests are treated confidentially.
