This program prepares students to practice as primary oral health care providers in a variety of practice environments, including clinical, education, health promotion and research. Dental hygienists are preventive specialists who provide oral health services based on scientific knowledge and a client-centred model of care.  Program emphasis is on preparing students to function within their scope of practice, in a collaborative manner, with the client, the community and other health care providers. Seminars, case presentations, community health practicums, and the clinical setting contribute towards developing a professional committed to the principles of quality assurance and continued competency.

Graduates of this program must successfully complete the National Dental Hygiene Certification Examination to be eligible for registration by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario. This program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada.

It was a great Course but it has a lot of challenges that you’ll have to give your maximum but you will enjoy it and learn a lot about Lighting and editing.

But if you’re choosing this course to build a career, it may not work in London Ontario as i know over 30 Students graduated with Great GPA and won Awards still can’t find jobs.

If you really love Photography and want to get a great career as myself i’ve been working into Cinematography,Photography and currently has 8 years of experienced into Media field still no luck in London. The course is great but not in the right place. Search For colleges or Universities in GTA or Montreal areas am sure it will work after you graduate you can have many opportunities there.
