75th Annual Winter Clinic - Toronto Academy of Dentistry

Who We Are

THE TORONTO ACADEMY OF DENTISTRY ...OVER 100 YEARS TRADITION...

In 1890, Toronto dentists first formed as a group, called the Toronto Dental Society. In 1906, sixteen years later, the group reinvented themselves to "form a society on a basis more suited to the demands of a profession of busy men in the most progressive city in a progressive country". The organization continued to thrive over the years and officially become the Toronto Academy of Dentistry on May 8, 1922.

The annual fee for membership was $5.00 and they shared office space and staff with the Royal College of Dental Surgeons (RCDS).

The Academy held spring and winter conferences for many years, attracting several hundred dentists to each meeting. What was once called Clinic Night was formally changed to Winter Clinic for the December 8, 1937 meeting.

Any Dentist who is an ODA member who practices in Toronto and belongs to North Toronto Dental Society, Toronto East Dental Society, Toronto Central Dental Society or West Toronto Dental Society, is automatically a member of the Toronto Academy of Dentistry and is part of their long-standing heritage.

The Toronto Academy of Dentistry draws from the four Toronto component societies for its Board and Committee members.

The Toronto Academy of Dentistry IS the four Toronto component societies and all that is does is for - and on behalf – of these societies.
