The Canadian Dental Association (CDA), located in Ottawa, Ontario, is the national voice for dentistry in Canada. Their mission is to promote optimal oral health as an essential component of general health and to advance and lead the dental profession. With over 21,000 practicing dentists across the country, CDA is a federally incorporated not-for-profit organization and represents Canada's provincial and territorial dental associations.

CDA's work focuses on three primary areas: knowledge, advocacy, and practice support. They provide valuable resources and support to dentists, including information on oral health, regulatory authorities, and provincial associations. For those interested in becoming dentists, CDA offers guidance and resources for dental aptitude tests and pursuing a career in dentistry.

CDA is committed to maintaining high ethical standards in the field, and they provide clinical information, patient communication tools, and practice management resources to assist dentists in delivering high-quality care.
