Students will be prepared to provide oral health care in a variety of environments. Graduates will work within the scope of dental hygiene practice and in accordance with the regulations of the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario.

  • Graduates are self-regulated health care professionals who support the roles of a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) such as health promotion, education, clinical therapy, advocacy, research and administration.
  • An RDH is a vital member of the oral healthcare team working with other healthcare professionals to achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
  • Focus on applying the dental hygiene process of care while developing inter-professionalism, client-centred care and interpersonal communication skills.
