2024 National Conference a Success!

More than 650 participants from across Canada and the United States, including dental hygienists, speakers, and industry representatives, attended CDHA’s national conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario, two weeks ago. This exciting event offered three days of professional development, networking, and notable sessions and greetings, including a special appearance during the opening ceremony by the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health. Minister Holland announced that Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) fee parity for independent dental hygienists will start in the new year.

Mark your calendar! We look forward to seeing you on October 18, 2025, in Toronto for the dental hygiene symposium held in collaboration with the American Academy of Periodontology.
