Dental Hygiene Programs
In Canada, dental hygienists must successfully complete a dental hygiene diploma or bachelor
program. The curriculum focuses
on oral and clinical science, with an emphasis on health promotion and preventive, motivational and
communication
strategies.
The
Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada
(CDAC)
approves requirements for all dental hygiene programs including
those at colleges, universities and private institutions. For information on these requirements and a list of
accredited
dental hygiene programs, please visit the
CDAC website.
If you currently hold a diploma in dental hygiene, but would like to earn a baccalaureate degree in dental hygiene
there
are degree completion options available in Canada. See if one of these programs would work for you!
