Pay Your Membership Dues in Installments Conveniently and With No Fees

The Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS), the American Dental Association (ADA), and your District Dental Society offer a Monthly Installment Payment Program plan for convenient membership renewal.

Debits to your checking account and/or credit card will be made on or around the same day each month starting in January. In addition, when using a corporate account or credit card, contributions to the MDS Foundation, MDS-PAC, and other ADPAC voluntary donations must be made by a PERSONAL CHECK or a PERSONAL CREDIT CARD ONLY.
