Founding Story

NC IDA was born at its inaugural meeting on February 10, 2026, when six dental professionals came together with a shared vision: to build a professional association that honors both excellence in dentistry and the rich cultural heritage of the Indian community in North Carolina.

From that first gathering, the founding board established a clear mission — mentorship, networking, culture, and community — and set in motion the steps to formalize NC IDA as a nonprofit organization serving dental professionals across the state.
