What We Do:

CDA, a non-regulatory authority, is a federation of Canada’s provincial and territorial dental associations (PDAs), representing over 21,000 practicing dentists from coast to coast to coast.

Three primary areas guide CDA’s scope of work, including knowledge, advocacy and practice support.

The Canadian Dental Association is a non-profit professional association representing Canada's 18,000 dentists. Headquartered in Canada's capital city Ottawa, the CDA serves its members and the public by managing key oral health issues on their behalf and by coordinating dental health awareness programs across the nation.

CDA is actively involved with lobbying and advocacy initiatives and uses its leadership role to communicate to the public and the government the profession's concerns regarding managed dental care.

The CDA was founded in 1902.

Deborah Stymiest of Fredericton was elected as its first female president in 2008.

The CDA Seal is a symbol to help consumers know which oral health benefit claims made by a manufacturer have been independently reviewed and are supported by scientific evidence. The seal is designed to help the public and dental professionals make informed choices. It is based on the dental symbol, the Rod of Asclepius surrounded by an interlocking circle and triangle.
