The Code of Ethics sets down the values and standards of the profession of dental hygiene. All dental hygienists in Canada must provide competent and ethical dental hygiene care.
The Dental Hygiene: Definition, Scope, and Practice Standards were developed to raise the standards of care in the dental hygiene practice setting and, in doing so, protect the public.
All patients at the dental office are entitled to safe, efficient, and effective care. Post the Bill of Rights at your dental office so that your clients are aware of the quality of service they are receiving from their dental hygienist.
