OFFICE OF THE CHIEF DENTAL OFFICER OF CANADA
Dr. James Taylor was appointed Chief Dental Officer of Canada at the Public Health Agency of Canada in the Fall of 2016. Previously, James was the Chief Dental Officer of the Canadian Armed Forces. He also currently serves as the Secretary of the FDI World Dental Federation Section of CDOs & Dental Public Health, as a member of the Standards Council of Canada delegation to the ISO Technical Committee 106 on Dentistry, and on the editorial boards of several national and international journals in the realm of oral health. His role in the federal Health Portfolio is to work with all public and non-public elements of the Canadian oral health community, and indeed our global counterparts, employing upstream, integrated and evidence-based approaches to enable improvement in the oral health of Canadians, and particularly that of our most vulnerable populations. He also works to foster the awareness of oral health as a key factor in general health.
