Report Scams & Fraud
A form for dentists and dental staff to report scam calls targeting dental offices. 

Talkspace Go and Talkspace Therapy
More than 80% of dentists reported feeling “major stress” about their careers. The ADA is emphasizing its dedication to helping members and dental students improve their mental health by offering complimentary access to Talkspace Go, a self-guided mental health app, and an approximately 90% discount off Talkspace Therapy, which connects users to a licensed therapist for one 30-minute session a month in addition to unlimited asynchronous messaging.

Mayo Clinic's Well-Being Index
The ADA is now offering the Well-Being Index (WBI), a free, anonymous assessment tool developed by the Mayo Clinic, to help member dentists evaluate and track their mental health and well-being. This initiative, supported by the ADA Council on Dental Practice and the ADA Wellness Ambassador Program, responds to data showing that nearly half of participating dentists report being distressed. The WBI, which takes just one minute to complete, links users to personalized ADA wellness resources and allows for ongoing self-monitoring through a secure dashboard. Aligned with national health workforce well-being priorities, this tool underscores the ADA’s commitment to supporting the mental and physical health of dental professionals. A recent study confirmed the WBI's effectiveness for dentistry, with full access available at ADA.org.
