This illustrates the growing number of Canadian dentists who are devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial pain; thus the need for the establishment of a Canadian Chapter.
2007 marks the first full year of operation for the Canadian Chapter of the AACP and to continue the tradition of education and exchange of ideas, the Canadian Chapter of the AACP will be hosting the first Annual Scientific session in Toronto, Ontario on October 12-13, 2007 (visit the AACP website www.aacfp.org for information about the meeting).
This newly created Canadian Chapter of the AACP will benefit TMD / Craniofacial Pain health practitioners as well patients.
