ANDI’s activities are all guided by a shared vision: the absolute importance of the patient’s health and well-being. This single principle has been showing us, during the past decades, how to support and defend the practice of a high-quality, independent practice of dentistry, promoting the exchange with national and international institutions, and striving to make it available to all our patients. During the years, an increasing number of dentists agreed to share these values. The success of ANDI and its pervasiveness on the national territory has been reached thanks to many, likeminded associates, partaking in the association’s activities. ANDI’s mission is to promote, support and advance the dental profession, offering new possibilities and innovative solutions to the practitioners and the patients. Standing for dentistry must not merely mean to defend the prerogatives of a trade group. More broadly, it means to expand dental care literacy among the population at all levels, focusing over the importance of oral health, furthering the agenda of preventive care and healthy habits, answering the quest for wellness posed daily by all our patients. During the past years, ANDI has articulated its structure, expanding its interests to meet the needs of patients and professionals alike.
