Tap the ADA Ethics Hotline for ethics dilemmas

By | October 21, 2014

Avoid hot water when it comes to sticky practice situations with the ADA Ethics Hotline, a member benefit made possible by a joint effort between The Council on Ethics, Bylaws and Judicial Affairs (CEBJA), the New Dentist Committee and the ADA Member Service Center.

Ethics           Though a ready asset for any ADA member, new dentists in particular may find the hotline of great value, as they are likely experiencing first-time dilemmas. The hotline was initially created targeting new dentists, but has evolved as a membership benefit befitting every member.

The Ethics Hotline is not a legal resource but rather a service for helping to resolve ethical dilemmas much like an ethics consult service. Members may access the new member service by calling the ADA toll-free number and stating that they have a question for the ethics hotline. To reach the Ethics Hotline, call the ADA Member Service Center and ask to be connected to the hotline. All calls are confidential. Leave a confidential voicemail message.

A member of CEBJA will contact callers within 2-3 business days to arrange a mutually agreeable time to discuss the dilemma presented. Indicate very time-sensitive dilemmas in the message and CEBJA staff and members will do their best to accommodate the request for feedback.
