Did you know?     

 

The Dental Technology Association of South Africa (DENTASA) is the only officially recognised association for Dental Technicians in South Africa? 

 

 

The South African Dental Technicians Council (SADTC) is a body which governs the profession?

 

 

That the Dental Technology Association of South Africa is the only mouthpiece for ALL DENTAL TECHNICIANS, which will be silenced without your valued support? 

 

 

All Registered Dental Technician Employers, Employees and Students may belong to the association, as from July 2003. 

 

 

Only paid up members will strengthen the voice of this association. 

 

 

The Dental Technology Association of South Africa is here to assist you in this ever-changing profession? 

 

 

As a paid up association member, you have immediate access to Medical Aid Insurance Cover, and do not have to wait the prescribed three months for cover, and premiums are levied in arrears?

We cannot address issues, or add value, that is of great importance to you, without your support and membership.


What Next?  

It is as easy as completing a membership form, returning it to the office for processing. Fees can be paid monthly via a debit order.

The survival of this association is wholly dependent on the valued membership of the profession.

We look forward to receiving your completed membership form, and to welcoming you as an Association member.
