Testimonials

"Becoming a member of the St. Louis Dental Connection (an AADOM DPLN) has been an incredible asset to me. The top-notch training sessions and extensive resources have significantly improved our operations. I am so happy they opened the membership up to Specialty Practices. Beyond that, the opportunity to bond with other office managers who face the same challenges has been invaluable. Sharing experiences and solutions with peers who truly understand our unique obstacles has not only strengthened my skills but also provided a strong support network. Joining the St. Louis Dental Connection is a must for any dental office looking to thrive."

"St. Louis Dental Connection has brought a new motivation in my office management career! Navigating the dental field as a front office team member has always been a lone endeavor. It is refreshing and necessary to have a place to gain insight and advice from a peer group of brilliant professionals. This group invests in developing leaders by providing the answers to our questions, application of new ways of thinking in our field, and guidance to reach new goals for our doctors. Meetings are packed full of topics that can immediately be utilized in the practice and the events feature the achievers amongst us. So thrilled to have this local chapter in St. Louis!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Have To Be An AADOM Member To Join?

You may notice a lot of DPLN members are also AADOM members. There is a lot of value in being a member of both organizations on a local and national level. Another reason members join AADOM is to be able to attend the annual AADOM Conference for the ultimate networking and continuing education opportunity.

Learn About AADOM

What’s The Difference Between AADOM And DPLN?

The American Association of Dental Office Management (AADOM) is a national organization whose mission is to educate, connect, and empower dental office managers and practice leaders across North America. Local chapters of AADOM members were formed to connect people nearby and bring AADOM’s education, training, and networking closer to home.

With the exponential growth of AADOM, local chapters rebranded themselves and formed the Dental Professional Learning Network (DPLN). This change from AADOM Chapter to DPLN invites more dental professionals to join their local study club and provides more support, resources, and opportunities to its members on a local level.

That’s why you’ll often hear how DPLN is endorsed and recognized by AADOM and why many DPLN members are also AADOM members.

Are Events Free For Members?

Most events are complimentary for DPLN members. If there is a price, it will be listed on the event listing.
