Renew Dues/Join CDS

Free admittance to the Midwinter Meeting is another member benefit available to those CDS dentists who have paid their dues in full on or before Jan. 1, 2009. Those who have not paid their dues in full on or before Jan. 1, 2009, may be required to pay the appropriate registration fee. The registration company receives lists of current members from CDS frequently throughout the pre-registration season to be sure all CDS current members can take advantage of this benefit.

Do not include your CDS dues payment with your registration. An outside contractor handles pre-registration. If you enclose dues with your pre-registration materials you will delay the processing of both your dues and your registration.

CDS dues can be paid online. Please note that it will take up to four business days to process your membership before you can preregister as Category A (CDS Dentist).

• Renew dues for current members:
  • CDS tripartite members (Cook, DuPage and Lake counties in Illinois)
  • CDS associate members (outside Cook, DuPage and Lake counties)
• Non-member dentists and dental students:

You cannot join the ADA through CDS while pre-registering. Pre-register as a non-ADA member and contact your state dental society to join the ADA. If you do join the ADA for 2009 prior to April 1, 2009, CDS will refund the difference of the non-ADA registration fee.
