Welcome to the official website of the Mobile Area Dental Society!

We are excited about your interest in the Mobile Area Dental Society! A component of the Alabama and American Dental Associations, the Mobile Area Dental Society is dedicated to helping people in the Mobile County area find the dental care that's right for them.

Our Mission

MADS represents Mobile Area dentists and their efforts to provide quality dental care to the citizens of our area of the state.

Our society is all-encompassing, with member backgrounds ranging from general practice to all specialties of dentistry. Our dentists' outlook and dedication to this region is unsurpassed!

Home to the original Mardi Gras, Mobile is situated along the Alabama Gulf Coast at the head of the Mobile Bay, with the metropolitan area consisting of Mobile and Baldwin counties. Each year, the city is host to a number of national events, including the Senior Bowl, LPGA Tournament of Champions and America's Junior Miss Pageant. Some notables hailing from the Port City are Jimmy Buffet, Hank Aaron and Winston Groom.

For upcoming meetings and events, please see the MADS Tentative 2026 Schedule.

Meet Your 2026-2027 President

My name is Crystal Hanson and I am honored to serve as President of the Mobile Dental Society! I grew up in Robertsdale and now live in Daphne with my husband, Caleb, and our miniature schnauzer. After graduating from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry in 2023, I am grateful to be back home practicing at Murphy Dentistry in Loxley and serving our community.

I truly love being a dentist, and I feel incredibly lucky to practice alongside such a supportive community of dentists in Mobile and Baldwin counties. Organized dentistry brings us together, strengths our profession, and makes it better. I'm excited for the year ahead and the opportunity to learn, connect, and grow together. We have some great CE planned-i hope you'll join us!
