The Issue

ATTENTION ALL ONTARIO DENTISTS

You pay $2,000 in membership dues annually. The ODA receives over $20 million dollars from your dues every year. Where does the money go?

Would you be an ODA member if it was not for processing your insurance claims electronically (CDAnet/ITRANS)?

Has the ODA been acting in the best interests of front-line dentists? Are you receiving value for your membership dues?

The ODA’s lack of action and influence on government is why many dentists believe the CDCP was imposed on dentists. It’s also why Sun Life is now auditing dentists like never before.

Have you seen the ODA’s latest TV commercial:

How does this support us in our practices? How does it educate the public, or the members, of all of the major risks and implications that CDCP will have on us and our patients? You will not believe how much of our money was spent on this campaign.

While dentists are under financial attack, there are reports that the CEO is overspending our money on travel, hotels, and alcohol.

Dentists are struggling to maintain the viability of their practices, and yet, the ODA CEO keeps getting raises, reportedly making over $500k a year with pension/benefits and a generous expense account. Who is giving dentists their pension?

Our membership fees seem to be benefiting the Association and not the members.

The ODA has failed us.

By signing this petition, we are calling on the board to clean house, first by firing the CEO, and then tendering their own resignations. A new board will restore transparency and accountability to front line dentists. 

We need a fresh start.

Please forward this petition to all Ontario dentists that you know.
