Hi,
I am moving in Sept last week and would request some info from anyone who knows about dental regulations.
I am a certified dentist in India . Would I be authorised to work as a dental hygenist? i do know that to work as a dentist, I need to take up a 2 yr course and be liscenced.
I have checked various sites ; but am not able to get the info.
Thanks
Swa

Canada is such a country where you need to be certified for everything than why not Dentist or Hygienist
?
Yes, you will have to study and write an exam to get license to work as a Dentist or Hygienist. For more information, you may visit the following website:

Thanks and regards.

Information on requirements to practise
The practice of dentistry is regulated in Canada. In order to practise the profession or use the title of dentist or dental surgeon, you must be licensed as a member with one of the provincial/territorial regulatory bodies. These bodies set the standards for entry into the profession of dentistry and for issuing licences to those who meet the established standards of qualifications and practice. Once you know where you will settle and work, you should contact the appropriate regulatory body for information on licensing procedures (see list below).
All provincial and territorial regulatory bodies recognize the certificate of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB). For more information on the NDEB exam and certificate, you may contact:
National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB)
100 Bronson Ave, Suite 203
Ottawa ON K1R 6G8 Canada
Tel.: (613) 236-5912
Fax: (613) 236-8386
Email:
http://www.ndeb.ca/
In order to write the NDEB exam, an individual must be a graduate of an accredited program in either Canada or the United States of America (USA). Currently reciprocal agreements do not exist with other countries. Graduates of dental programs outside of North America must take a two-year qualifying program.
For further general information on dental occupations in Canada, you may contact the Canadian Dental Association, "the national voice of dentistry" in Canada:
In other words YOU HAVE TO pass a 2-year qualifying program .. So forget abt your career/qualifications from India, as they are not recognized !
