Become a Member of the
Canadian Society for Disability and Oral Health
Who can join?
CSDH membership is open to everyone. Our members include oral health care providers from a number of different fields, as well as academics, researchers, students, parents, caregivers, people living with disabilities, and others with a profound interest in improving access to oral health care for people with disabilities.
Why should I join?
The primary reason to join is to make a difference in the lives of people living with disabilities. Your membership dues help fund the work that we do to improve access to care. You can make a more significant contribution by joining one of our committees and taking an active role in generating and implementing new ideas.

Beyond that, there are benefits available to you (shown below the Membership table) and we are continuously looking for ways to enhance your membership experience.
Membership Classes and Fees:
CSDH has two Membership classes, Student and General. The General class is divided into two categories, Supporter and Contributor, as outlined below. As a General Member, you may choose either category and you may renew or change your selection on an annual basis. New for 2025, we’re offering a discounted rate for previous student members who renew as Supporters during their first year after graduation.
