The Society promotes all areas of dentistry that relate to research into the prevention, control or elimination of pain and anxiety using local analgesia, relative analgesia, anxiolysis, conscious sedation, psychological behaviour modification, and other pharmacological and non-pharmacologic forms of treatment.

The Australian Society of Dental Anaesthesiology is an Australian Dental Association Affiliated Society. Therefore to join, you must first be a member of the ADA.

Benefits of Membership:
ASDA acts to improve patient safety and comfort by supporting and promoting education in pain and anxiety control and emergency management. We also support the ongoing Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Conscious Sedation and Pain Control) at the University of Sydney.

ASDA has delegates in the ADA sub-committees and Dental Board of Australia (Conscious Sedation Committee) advocating for patient safety and the ability to practice for appropriately qualified and trained sedationists. To ensure we have a valid voice, membership and the involvement in our society of as many Endorsed Sedationists as possible is needed.
