New Online Course: Your Journey through Indigenous Canada

CDHA is proud to partner with NVision Insight Group to bring you a new course, The Path: Your Journey through Indigenous Canada. This online offering, available in English and French, meets several Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls to action for Canadians to learn about the history of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, communities, and governments. To support Indigenous peoples in achieving optimal health and wellness, it is imperative that dental hygienists acknowledge and understand the ways in which values, biases, assumptions, preferences, and worldviews affect dental hygiene service provision. This series of Indigenous cultural awareness modules will help you to create respectful and sustainable relationships with your clients and provide culturally safe dental hygiene care.

Last Chance: Vaping, Nicotine & Tobacco Webinar

Our vaping, nicotine, and tobacco webinar, sponsored by Waterpik, will be moved to the vault July 21. This FREE offering examines the changing trends in tobacco and nicotine use and how these trends are affecting oral and systemic health. Once you register, you’ll have up to one year to access the webinar.

Monkeypox Cases Continue to Rise

Although the case numbers for Monkeypox are still relatively low in Canada, they are rising. The Government of Canada is now reporting 278 active cases, up from the 26 cases reported May 26. Dental hygienists in communities experiencing an outbreak of monkeypox may wish to continue pre-appointment screening for fever, chills, sore throat, and muscle aches, and reschedule clients with these symptoms.

Expressions of interest must be received by 12:00 pm ET on August 4 (steering committee) and by 12:00 pm ET on August 22 (research consultant).
