Nominations Open January 7, 2026: ADA 10 Under 10 Award

Know a dentist who graduated less than 10 years ago and is making an impact in the profession? Now’s the time to start thinking about potential nominees for the ADA 10 Under 10 Award – someone who:

• Graduated from dental school between 2016 and 2025
• ADA member in good standing
• Inspires you in one of these excellence areas: science/research/education, practice excellence, philanthropy, leadership, or advocacy

The 2026 nomination period will open January 7 at ADA.org/10under10 and close on March 16, 2026. Help us recognize and celebrate rising stars in dentistry by promoting this opportunity during the nomination period.
