Dental Hygiene

Dental hygiene is defined by the Canadian Dental Hygiene Association as a health profession involving theory and evidence based practice.  Dental Hygiene theory and practice draw on biomedical, social, and behavioural sciences, and the body of dental hygiene knowledge.  The practice of dental hygiene involves collaboration with clients, other health professionals, and society to achieve and maintain optimal oral health, an integral part of well-being.

Dental Hygienists are regulated primary oral health care professionals.
