Good dental hygienists don’t just help your oral health while you’re in their chair, they give you good habits to bring with you everywhere else. These are the type of hygienists we produce at Oulton College.
Our Dental Hygiene program is certified by The Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada, and uses the most qualified instructors with the most modern technology. You will learn to treat periodontal diseases, while mastering surgical corrections.
But our training goes well beyond the technical side of dentistry. You will also discuss the physical, intellectual, and socio-economic factors that influence people’s oral health and how they access oral health care.
You will also build professional communications skills. This includes honing listening skills and learning to accurately transfer information orally and in writing. We also help you write an effective résumé and teach job searching techniques and interview skills.
