Advanced Diploma in Dental Hygiene

Program Overview

The Dental Hygiene (S134) advanced diploma program prepares students to practise as primary oral health-care providers.

Over three years, students will learn to apply the dental hygiene process of care while developing professional relationship-building and communication skills such as:

  • Learning to work as part of an interprofessional health-care team
  • A client-centred approach to care
  • Interpersonal communication skills

Students will practise and develop the hands-on delivery of their newly learned skills while working with clients at our WAVE Dental Clinic.

Students will learn to work effectively as a collaborative dental team member in a client’s circle of care that will include a collaborative dental team that considers:

  • The client
  • The community
  • Other health-care providers

Students will also learn to evaluate care as they help clients set short- and long-term goals for continued oral health care.

  • Practise in a professional and competent manner within the defined scope of practice and consistent with current regulations and standards of practice.

  • Analyze oral health issues in need of advocacy, identify networks and promote actions that will support change and facilitate access to care.
  • Identify, select, implement and evaluate quality assurance standards and protocols which contribute to a safe and effective working environment.
  • Establish and maintain professional and interprofessional relationships that contribute to client care safety and positive health-care outcomes.
