Dental Hygiene Regulators of Canada (FDHRC)
Mission is to provide national leadership in dental hygiene
regulation for the protection of the
public.
In order to practise in Canada, dental hygienists must
be registered or licensed by the
appropriate provincial or
territorial dental hygiene regulatory authorities. Requirements for
registration or licensure varies by
province
or territory, including differences in clinical experience, examinations
required, and continuing education
requirements.
