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.  You can make a more significant contribution by joining one of our committees and taking an active role in generating and implementing new ideas.
