What CDHA members
said about past conferences
Perfect opportunity to continue my lifelong journey of learning while supporting a national
organization
truly dedicated
to representing the profession while promoting the oral health of all Canadians.
The CDHA conference provides a quality scientific program including current and timely
information and
opportunities
for professional development, time for networking with colleagues, and an overall wonderful

Always a valuable conference to attend for professional and personal development. Always makes
me feel proud
