Overview

Advanced Diploma in Dental Hygiene

Dental hygienists are preventive specialists who provide oral health services rooted in scientific knowledge and a client-centered model of care. 

It takes a specialized set of dynamic technical and interpersonal skills to clean teeth, take x-rays, and promote oral health. 

The Dental Hygiene program facilities have received a complete make-over and are returning the clinical portion of the program to Fanshawe College's London Campus. 

The new space features a new, state-of-the-art, a public oral health clinic with a dental radiography suite that includes the latest in digital radiography. 

First-year students will learn fully functional modern dental manikin simulators to learn instrument skills with an emphasis on ergonomics. 

Students can safely learn decontamination and sterilization processes in a sterilization center in their simulation labs, modeled after a typical dental office. As students progress, they’ll get hands-on clinical experience.

The program also includes community placements and oral health promotion activities at daycare, public schools, hospitals, and healthcare settings.

Upon graduation, students will be ready to complete the National Dental Hygiene Certification Board (NDHCB) examination.

Seminars, case study presentations, community health practicums, and the clinical setting contribute towards developing a professional committed to the principles of quality assurance and continued competency. 

This program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada.
