Promoting The Profession
ODA.ca
The public relies on us for information on dental care, prevention (including regular dental appointments!) and health and safety in the dental office. Now, there’s more information at their fingertips on the easy-to-use, mobile and searchable ODA.ca. We’ve expanded on topics like dental procedures; dental benefits and costs; the dental team and specialists; and, more recently, information about the Canada Dental Care Plan. We encourage you to refer your patients to our website as an educational resource on oral health.
