Peel Public Health asked if HPDA dentists would be willing to volunteer to administer the vaccine at mass immunization clinics.  Over 200 dentists indicated that they are available to help.  Currently, it is not in the dentist's scope of practice to administer vaccines in Ontario. The ODA will be providing updates about this. 

To celebrate Oral Health Month, HPDA will be donating toothbrushes to our local food banks. We have challenged other component societies to do the same. 

HPDA thanks Dr. Naheed Mohamed for the great webinar and generous donation to the HPDA charity    

The annual membership fee was reduced to $199 in response to the pandemic. Newly licensed dentists get free membership. Register here
