FAQ Fiesta NMDA 2024

Yes. You will register for Fiesta NMDA in the same way you registered last year. If you’ve attended a previous NMDA event, your information will be stored in the system.

If you are not a dentist and you have attended an NMDA event in the last few years, use the username and password you used previously. Typically, your user is your email, but you can click "Forgot Username" if you need to. If you don’t remember a password, use the "Forgot Password" link. If this is the first time you have registered for any NMDA event, click on “Nonmember? Create Account” to set up a new account.

Please update your information (workplace, phone, etc) before continuing to register. Do not create a new profile unless you are a first-time registrant for an NMDA event. Please email Susan Pate (spate@nmdental.org) to request a name or email address change.

You can register your entire office using the “Add Registrant” button during the registration process. If your dentist is registering, be sure to use their ADA number to access their profile. (Your dentist does not have to be the primary registrant.) Since registrants will have access to the online event as well as the live event, each registrant must provide their own email address.

Please use your ADA number to access your profile. If you don't remember your password, click on "Forgot Password" to reset it.
