Backgrounder

The ODA has been Ontario’s primary source for dental information since 1867 and represents over 10,000, or 90 per cent, of dentists in the province.

We also advocate for sustainable access to dental care for all Ontarians by working with health-care professionals, governments, the private sector and the public.

If you are a reporter, producer, host or writer who needs information on oral health, dentistry in Ontario or the ODA, or want to interview a dentist, we can help! Please email media@oda.ca.

The ODA is a voluntary membership organization. Any questions relating to the licensing and regulation of dentists should be directed to the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario at rcdso.org.

For sales, marketing or other inquiries, please email info@oda.ca.
