Collectively, they Champion better oral health care for all Californians.

Company History
The Dentist Insurance Company (TDIC) was created over 30 years ago to control skyrocketing professional liability insurance premiums and to provide member dentists with the best value insurance products and related services. TDIC underwrites professional liability, property and workers’ compensation insurance, while TDIC Insurance Solutions (an affiliated brokerage company) offers insurance products such as health and disability.
Constantly looking for new ways to support members in their practices, the CDA recently created the Dentists Service Company (TDSC) to support members with the business side of their practices and help them be more competitive and efficient. TDSC plans to offer group purchasing of supplies, practice advising, marketing, human resources, and assistance with forming group practices.
Vision: The California Dental Association is the recognized leader for excellence in member service and advocacy, promoting oral health and the profession of dentistry.
