About Commonwealth Dental Association

The Commonwealth Dental Association (CDA) is an association of dental associations, with aims to improve dental and oral health in Commonwealth countries by raising the skills of dental professionals and increasing the awareness of oral health. The CDA is served by an elected Executive Committee, supported by the CDA News Editor and the Administrator. We have a fabulous team of dedicated and hardworking people who makes CDA what it is. The CDA is an association of national dental associations, which aims to improve dental and oral health in Commonwealth countries by raising the skills of practitioners and increasing awareness of oral health. Aims and Objectives To develop and promote strategies to improve oral health care To encourage the training of appropriate personnel To serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas, professional information and the emerging concepts of oral health To address problems of professional isolation in the non-industrialised Commonwealth countries To stimulate continuing professional education National dental associations (NDAs) in Commonwealth countries may become a member of the CDA. There is no membership subscription for very small countries. Membership entitles the NDA's members to the use of any password-protected areas of this site, including access to our online learning tools. Financial support for attendance at future CDA meetings and workshops may also be available to representatives of the NDA. One of the significant changes that has emerged during the last few years is the movement away from the Commonwealth simply being centred in the United Kingdom to a matrix of individuals and organisations stretched across the Commonwealth countries participating in exchanges of dialogue and communications stretched across more than 50 nations. Membership of the Commonwealth Dental Association is open to all national dental associations of countries within the Commonwealth, who contribute by way of annual subscriptions.
