New HPV Information Sheet

Did you know? In Canada, 60% to 73% of throat cancers are linked to oral human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. They are now the most common type of HPV-related cancer in the country, particularly among men. Download and share CDHA’s new resource in English or French with your patients so they can learn about HPV and its link to throat cancers, spot the signs, and take action to protect their oral and overall health.

Thriving Together: Lunch & Learn Series

October is Healthy Workplace Month in Canada. To mark the occasion, we have added three new videos and worksheets to our ready-to-use team development series designed specifically for dental offices. Through short videos, guided reflection, and open discussion, teams will discover ways to foster mutual respect and promote workplace wellness. This is more than a training exercise—it’s a chance to connect, reflect, and grow as a team. Take the lead during Healthy Workplace Month and schedule the series at your workplace today!
