CDHA welcomes a national discussion of priorities and opportunities to do better for older adults in Canada.
Everyone needs access to preventive oral hygiene services. Yet for many vulnerable older adults, oral health
care services are often unaffordable and inaccessible, putting them at greater risk for poor oral and
overall health.
When it comes to older adults aging in communities or in long-term care homes, meeting the oral health care
needs of this population should not be missed. That’s why seniors’ oral health has been a long-standing
priority for CDHA. Learn more about our recommendations for supporting real, positive oral health outcomes
for older adults in Canada.
