New Indigenous Dental Association of Canada to bring together dental professionals for better oral care – CFWE
November 6th, 2022
“The history of Canada’s treatment of Indigenous people is dark. It is still in society, how do these little kids have to face this, especially First Nations kids? Kids can get very mad and deal with this poorly. It is sad.”
Indigenous dental professionals will soon have a platform through which they can network with other Indigenous colleagues and contribute to improving the delivery of oral health services in communities across Canada.
The newly-established Indigenous Dental Association of Canada is working to bring together the Indigenous dental community to support its vision of reconciliation. This will provide Indigenous dental professionals with a community through which they can share resources, knowledge and experiences, while supporting approaches to dentistry rooted in traditional ways of knowing.
