Making Headlines....

2025 Job Market & Employment Survey Results

The executive summary, full report, and provincial and territorial segmentations of CDHA’s 2025 Job Market & Employment Survey results are now available in English and French. Did you know that 13% of dental hygienists changed jobs in the past year, and 15% are actively seeking new opportunities? Higher income is the top reason for making a move. With wages on the rise and demand for preventive oral care services strong, now is an ideal time to explore new opportunities in dental hygiene. Refer to the full report—available free to CDHA members—for a comprehensive review of all findings!

Webinar Wednesday: Double the Learning!

Two more FREE webinars are now available! Our first webinar, sponsored by Listerine, highlights person-centred care through co-discovery conversations. Our second webinar explores how dental hygienists—armed with evidence-based knowledge and real-world experience—are uniquely positioned to lead transformative oral health initiatives in their communities. If you’re new to CDHA webinars, learn how to access them and get your certificate in our quick how-to video.

What Is Your Experience with the CDCP?

The insights gathered will directly inform CDHA’s advocacy efforts with the federal government, supporting meaningful enhancements to the program for both providers and clients. If you’ve already responded, thank you! If you have yet to respond, please complete the survey in English or French on or before February 11. Let your voice be heard!
