The ACDH website has been updated to provide better access to resources for dental hygiene applicants and current dental hygienists.
All information for applicants wishing to register with the College can be found in the new Registering As a Dental Hygienist section. You can also find information about applying for authorization to perform advanced restricted activities in this section.
The new Current Dental Hygienists section contains the following pages:
- Continuing Competence Program
- Continuing Competence FAQs
- Webinars
- Maintaining Your Registration
- Letters of Good Standing
- Transfers
- Practice Ownership
- Notification Form for Practice Owners
- Notification Form for Closing or Transferring Ownership of a Practice
Some of these pages were previously housed under the About, Continuing Competence, or Registration & Renewal sections of the website. If you had previously bookmarked any of these pages, you will automatically be redirected to their new location on the website. Please bookmark the new links.
The Practice Ownership webpage is a new page with a collection of resources for dental hygienists who currently own/operate a practice or are considering it. The College encourages owners/operators and dental hygienists who are considering ownership to take advantage of this information. Resources will continue to be added to this page.
FAQs about Restricted Activities have been moved to the Practice Resources page. This page also contains resources on topics such as Occupational Health and Safety, Laser Use, Orofacial Myology, and Neuromodulators and Dermal Fillers.
