香港牙醫學會於1950年成立，當時創會的英文名稱為 Hong Kong Dental Society。學會現今會員人數已超過2,000名，佔全港註冊牙醫九成。
香港政府一向倚重學會為香港牙醫業界代表，就牙科政策事宜向學會諮詢建議。 學會在政府政策上一直擔當重要角色。在早期香港牙科發展時，學會已主動向政府提出牙科發展建議，如食水加氟計劃、在本地開辦牙科醫學院，設立菲臘牙科醫院 訓練本地牙科醫生和牙齒衞生員訓練學校等等。 學會近年來，加強和政府協商，積極推動公私營合作計劃，透過增加醫療券金額， 擴展關愛基金長者牙科資助項目，推動長者院舍外展牙科服務及智障人士牙科資助服務，照顧社會上有需要的人士。
學會一向積極鼓勵業內專才不斷自我革新，提升專業技術和水平。學會舉辦每月研討會及工作坊等，為會員提供持續進修的機會，並且邀請本地及海外資深學者、極具威望的專家為會員進行演說。學會還積極主辦國際性牙科會議，與各國優秀牙科專才進行交流，互相切磋。香港牙醫學會是亞太區牙科組織聯盟 (Asia Pacific Dental Federation) 的創會會員，早於80年初已經是FDI世界牙醫聯盟 (FDI World Dental Federation) 的會員。曾主辦多屆亞太區口腔會議 ，並分別於1995年及2012年主辦 FDI世界牙科會議。
學會推動口腔健康教育更是不遺餘力。透過不同媒體 及社交平台宣傳口腔健康資訊，讓大眾意識到養成良好口腔健康習慣 對身體健康的重要性。
在未來的日子，香港牙醫學會將會秉承一貫信念，一方面鼓勵同業在牙科領域不斷求進，精益求精，另一方面積極推動口腔健康教育，務求提升市民口腔健康水平。 在政策層面，學會將會繼續就政府各項施政提出意見，為業界發聲，為市民謀福祉。
