I m from india please tell me about the subjects required for admission in this course. I have done 12th with phy., chm. and bio.
Me too
So, all sciences and Maths with english is what they require but the level of equivalency is determined by the college. So, if they say that our education back home is not just as equal to here in Canada, then we must do an upgrade course provide by Canada.
@@TheToothFactory can you plz let me know if i didn't had math then what to do?
@@kushpatel4050 first you apply to any college and course you wish to apply to then they tell you whether they will accept you or not and once they respond to you, they also will tell you that you are missing certain courses such as math. And it gives you an opportunity to upgrade a math course as the college wants you to. Once you fulfilled the requirements you may receive a confirmed admission.
@@rishishah1664 how long can this take? if they wants me to fullfill there requirements for math
Hi, can you please tell me what is the difference between George Brown College graduates and the 18-month-old Toronto College in Dental Hygiene? I mean, after graduation, there is a difference in career, income, and continuing education, given that George Brown College is 3 years old, but Toronto College is 18 months old.
The only difference is the continuing education. George brown wants the graduates to be from an advanced diploma not just a diploma if you wish to go for the hygiene speciality of restorative hygiene. Otherwise for employment after graduation, there is really not must of a difference.
Does toranto College 18 mnths course offer pg work permit?
@ The Tooth Factory ,I have the same question with Anam, please let us know the answer.thank you.
Please can you tell me the colleges in which math is not a requirement!
I know for example, CDI and Cambrian colleges did not until last year but many colleges have terminated their Hygiene admissions as of now.
Thank you so much for a very detailed video.
I have some questions regarding the field.
Please let me know how to contact you.
Thank you.
Sure, you can contact us on our facebook page, the link is on the about box in our channel.
hai sir,your video is v much informative.thank you so much for dedicating your time to make such videos,they are really helpful.sir there are many type of hygeine courses with different durations,can you plz tell what are the differnces between them? what are the certificates(transcript/wes) needed for a bds graduate to take up hygiene course in canada coming in a spouse visa
Hello doctor, welcome to Canada and thank you for your kind words.
In your case you are a PR once you land in Canada. Therefore, you would not need to be worried about selecting a specific college or course duration as your residency does not depend on the course. Therefore I recommend that you choose a 18 month diploma course on hygiene in colleges such as Toronto Auxiliary, Vancouver College, Oxford College or Aplus institute. These places offer the same diploma but accelerated instead of regular paced. This will help you get into the field faster. The job prospects are also promising with these institutions. With required documents you would need a WES evaluation for some college applications while some conduct their own evaluations therefore you would need to submit the transcripts from BDS along with your degree and grade 12 education as well. But that is different per college. Therefore do refer the the particular college’s website doctor. Hope this helps.
@@TheToothFactory thank you sir
Apart from George Brown ,which colleges/universities are good for Dental Hygiene?
I am currently in 12th CBSE with biology, chemistry, physics without math.
Ill have to find out which colleges accept students without math involved. We are trying to make a detailed video on dental hygiene admissions in Canada as well. I would have hang in there Ill answer your questions soon.
@@TheToothFactory is there any information regarding the good colleges for dental hygiene without having Maths in class12.
Like mentioned in the other comment of yours, most colleges may require math now however Confederation college seems to be the one that does not mention math on its website. Please do check that out.
Thank you doc😊
1 query more like I'm bit confused whether I should go for study visa or via express entry route ... I'm having 2 yrs experience of working as a dentist....?? I have asked many agents but their advice varies ..I thought I shld ask u bcz I have been watching ur videos from a very long time..n came across the fact everttym u give the appropriate information .....i would very grateful if u 'll give an honest opinion over this .
God bless WID more..
. authentic as.well as reliable channel 👍
Thank you doctor for your kind words. Ny suggestion will be to opt for PR route directly as your experience age and qualifications are high the only thing that can determine your score to tip towards express entry is your IELTS score now. So imagine doctor if you got a 8 or 8.5 in IELTS then whats stopping you from getting a PR application? And once you do, you have saved yourself from 3 years of struggle and probably 100k dollars. So aim for PR come here and work part time at clinics or labs or even administering jobs and clear your DDS and in three years you can be a doctor vs in three years of student visa you would just be on workpermit.
@@TheToothFactory I got it 🙏🙏 gbu
Thank you doc!
Hello sir , I am bds graduate from India and my graduation percentage is low. What are my chances of getting into dental hygienist course in Canada? Do i need to take up pre requisite for making into hygniest course?
Hello, the dental hygiene program is extremely tightly competitive in 2022. The chances are slim normally. It is tough to say what are you individual chances but I can tell you, admissions are not as easy as they use to be.
Hi , it’s so kind of you that you answer everyone! So my question is I am a permanent resident of Canada. I have non medical 12th grade followed by b tech in computer science. Here, I did 2 year business mgmt post graduation diploma with IT. I know it’s funny I did all fields study ,, 😄,,, now I want to go for dental hygienist course so what is process and pre requirements as I did only PCM in 12th but no biology. Thanks in advance
Hello, I find that amazing and fascinating actually. Really nice how you have explored many fields and dental hygiene is really a good field for sure.
As far as I know when applicants from different fields wish to join hygiene, there is a course that the colleges have and it is called PreHealth course that is required to be completed. However, if you have a college in mind, I would email the admissions or enrolments team with your credentials and questions. They will guide you for individual colleges themselves. That is my recommendation. Hope that helps!
@@TheToothFactory please email me , Thanks 😊
I mean I would recommend you to email the enrolment office of a college of your choice with your profile and ask about additional admissions requirements.
sir, can i talk to you personally?
i really need your advice!
i m from India ..
and wanted to know more about this course.
svena singla, for sure doctor we can definitely have a conversation individually on the following link on our facebook page.

We will be glad to assist you in any way we can.

What is your opinion on the Toronto College of Dental Hygiene and Auxiliaries in Toronto?
The Fat Vegan hello! In my opinion it is a great institution to study at and is also accredited which lets you take the board exam too. So yes it is a good choice
I'm looking into that school as well. I have coworkers who went there as well, they say it was fine just shorter then George Brown. In my option if you go the private school route the TCADH and APLUS institute are the best ones, or else George Brown is always the preferred college.
@@stephaniegar1006 Hi, how is oxford college for dental hygiene
@Nishi647 I never went there. But honestly, I feel like it's slightly better then TCDHA. The only issue for me was distance because it's located in Scarborough.
@@stephaniegar1006 they have a branch in Mississauga too now
Hello Sir , I am An Indian Dental Student ( BDS ) Right Now In 3rd Year. I am Confused Whether To Go For Masters In Public Health or Dental Hygiene Or Masters In Clinical Research In Canada. Will You Please Help Me In Guiding Me what's Correct?
Hello, both options lead you to a PR equally. It is matter of your interest in clinical practice or theoretical and statistical practice. If you like patients and practicing in a clinic then choose Hygiene, otherwise choose MPH.
@@TheToothFactory Sir Do MPH Graduates have jobs position in Canada. ? Like what is the scope . Can we survive in Canada with MPH?
Without a doubt, MPH is a thriving career in Canada and there is a huge emphasis on public health in Canada. You can do well and more than just survive with MPH.
There is no 2year course for international dentist
Farhana Sonya Hossain yes doctor there are two year courses such as MPH or even dental hygiene and some colleges i have explained in the video and there is a link for them in the description may offer 2 year program for dental hygiene too. Please do check the website for various colleges and their program length below. Very good question doctor.
Hello sir,
I have completed my 12th with 74% and not less than 65 in any subject.
And have ilets score of 7.5 ( not less than 7 in any module )
Am I eligible for this course in Ontario or Alberta?
And if they ask for maths can I show my 10th marks for math (88) because I had PCB in 12th and if not what can I do?
Hello, so in your case I feel emailing the institution you are interested in directly at their own admissions email. This is for the maths details require or not however your profile to me looks really strong and yes you are eligible to apply for the admission process for hygiene as an international student. In my recommendation do look into ontario.
Very detailed video appreciate it. What is your reason for favouring George brown collage ?
Thank you Doctor.
I highly regard the education provided by George Brown College and their quality of training, their facility and job placements are exceptional from their annual records. And some on my friends who have studied there are very well settled and successful. Therefore, I strongly recommend getting education in it.
Hi, I've heard that the hygiene program is competitive at George Brown. Therefore, reaching the minimum academic requirement may not be enough to get a spot. What grade for each subject do you think we should have to make ourselves competitive?
Also, I am a mature student who just did a bachelor degree. Will my high school academic grades still be valid or do I need to update them?
Is there an interview process at George brown or do they solely just look at grades?
You are absolutely right about the competition at George Brown. See for international students its meeting the minimum percentage which is 60% that makes us eligible to just apply then the competition if beat by the WES evaluation where our credentials from high school and Degrees are evaluated and graded as a GPA. So the GPA that is highly competitive from a WES evaluation is 3.5 and above. Also your degree is also considered an essential element of competition. Don’t forget many applicants are high school graduates only and with you completing a degree, it puts you ahead in the race by a couple spots. Your high school still counts and your degree adds on to your credentials. There is no interview process for Any college diploma programs it is only the grades that get you in. Now I must tell you, for this year the Dental Hygiene program at George Brown is in hold for international students due to COVID circumstances. So before you apply please do email the college with regards to your will to apply. They will reply within 2-4 business days. They are good at getting back to you.
@@TheToothFactory Thank you for the speedy and thorough response :) I am actually a Canadian citizen! Are they also putting the program on hold for Canadians? I know they did last year due to COVID, not sure they would again this upcoming year.
Glad to hear! Ao for domestics its not technically on hold, what they are doing is limiting applicants so you can be accepted but be put on waitlist instead so your intake will be delayed but not abolished
Can a foreign trained Dental Surgeon relocate to Canada to be a Dental Hygienist without going through exam???
Hello unfortunately at this time Canada does not have a provision where we internationally trained dentists can practice hygiene directly. We must actually study the diploma itself instead of any exam.
@@TheToothFactory wow. Ok thanks a lot!
Yes unfortunately there are no licensing exams for hygiene in Canada. We would love to see them be provided in Canada but I apologise for its unavailability
Hi, when they scan your grades do they only look at your senior grades and compare your senior grades to others?
They look at your grades as an individual evaluation and there will not comparison among others.
Is there is any test for taking admission in dental colleges .....or we can just apply and take admission.....plzz tell
In order to get admission into a dental college for DDS, one must go through the DAT (Dental Aptitude Test) and interviews. This is considering all our international credentials are equally qualified and accepted in Canada, if not then we must go through completing the pre-requisites that would be provided by your applied college.
hey doc please guide hoe to make an online portal for ndeb and to go through the evaluation process. first we make portal than uni has to send the document or first uni send the document thn we need to make portal . please guide its important.
thank you
Hello doctor so how I like to recommend the steps to Equivalency of NDEB is:
1.) understanding and reviewing all the types of documents that NDEB requires from us. Use this link below:
vimeo.com/786386910

3.) then finally ask your university to submit the documents that are required and you personally must also begin to formulate the package to submit the documents as per step 1. Also make sure this form in the link below is also submitted with the package of required documents:
ndeb-bned.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Equivalency-Process-Form_2022.pdf
And finally,
Here is the complete guide on how to go through the NDEB equivalency:

Hope this information helps doctor and good luck!
If you study dental hygiene in Quebec so in order to work in Ontario you have to give license exam both in Quebec and Ontario if one wants to work in Ontario ? I mean there is one exam valid in all over Canada or different province have different exams
Yes exactly the last exam consists of NDHCB’s license exam which includes all provinces and territories . Once we pass hygiene, we must take this board exam to get this validation across the country.
Thnk u so much for this video plz sir guide me I completed my bds from India am I eligible for this course nd plz tell me about the dental assistant also which is better course after bds assistant or hygienist in canada
Hello, you are absolutely eligible doctor! Hygiene is a career and assistant is a course you can take to sustain until you become a licensed dentist in Canada. It is faster to get assistant done since we can take two license exams and we are good but hygiene can take up to 3 years to complete.
Do these colleges offer placements or do you manually search for job? Does the university you study in matter to recruiters?
College generally provide placements and it is up to the students to make that placement a future employment with our work. The college or uni does not matter to recruiters. Jobs are highly based on your interview skills.
Hlo sir, i have completed my bds degree in India and now i am planning to migrate to canada through express entry program. Could you please tell me the procedures that i have to do for getting a dental hygienist job option in canada
Hello doctor, firstly congratulations on completing the BDS process! And we applaud your efforts in coming to Canada through express entry.
Dental hygiene as a PR is easier to get admission into as well. Once you are in Canada, you would have to apply to a dental hygiene diploma program doctor. This way you will be enrolled into a college and once completed you can practice as a hygienist.
Sir. After finishing 3years degree..she needs to sit for licensing exam like dentist...
Farhana Sonya Hossain yes doctor every professional program whether diploma or degree has a board exam to cross but they are fairly easy compared to entrance exams
@@TheToothFactory How are you thank you 🙏 so much for video very good . I have a question plecam. I am higienist dental 🦷 in Spain 🇪🇸 if I want look for job in Canada 🇨🇦 Where I have to send my Diploma 📜 transcripts etc for convalescence my studying???? Thank u 🙏 so much
Hello sir, indian dental hygienist student can apply job in canda after dental hygienist education
We must be able to complete a Dental Hygiene diploma here in Canada to be licensed to practice.
Bro, hope you will reply. Am a mds perio currently working in Saudi. I wish to migrate to Canada. I was a bright student till 10th. Unfortunately i couldn't perform well in 12 th exam (cbse), just scored 59%. I realized my mistake and passed bds and mds with first class. But the 12th marks still haunt me. Bro, if i want to pursue a degree in dental hygiene from canada, will this be a negative mark for me? Or is it possible for me to take a degree in canada since i already have a bds and mds degree from India. Kindly reply, your help will be really appreciated. Thank you
So doctor, your two degrees are more than enough to qualify you to Study a degree in Canada. I understand your circumstances with your marks in your 12th but when you present your BDS MDS credentials there is no denying admission to you based on your 12th. You will be fine doctor.
Did u get admission in dental hygienist course?
Sir maths compulsory for this course in all college
My profile is good in 12 th science I got 79% .
Can I get admission in dental hygiene???
Hello, there are some colleges that update their requirements on an annual basis and they may or may not require Maths but majority of the institutions do require it. Your profile will be evaluated based on the college's credential evaluating system, therefore, your 79% must fall within their minimum required GPA for admission. It all varies based on what marks you got in which course. Only the college you apply to is able to give you and accurate answer. In my experience, I recommend you should apply to various colleges are you do have a high chance of getting in a dental hygiene program directly from grade 12. Don't loose hope and keep grinding my friend!
Hey Sir!I have done my 12th grade in medical ! I want to enroll in dental hygienist course in george brown college!What are the steps !Please help me!I called at fanshawe college and they said they only give seats to domestic students!So please help and share details!
George Brown College will start taking students for the year 2021. This year has been canceled. The pre-requisites for the course is on the GBC website you can check online 🙂
Is there is any entrance test or u can just put an application to take admission in dental colleges in Canada??.....plzz tell🙏🙃
I’m interested too in this course can u contact me ??
@@sukhmanpannu9806 me too
COVID has led them to cancel all admission as of now, as soon as there is an update we will post a video about it.
Hi , I have a question . Not related to course . I am an international student in Canada . For my teeth problem do I get any insurance or something. I need to pay the full amount
A very good question!
So, normally the general insurance package that you are entitled to with your course at your college includes approximately 1500-2500 dollars of dental care in it. The best way to get your individualized insurance policy summary would be to visit your program coordinator at the college.
Hello doc. Hope you are doing fine. As you posted this video many years ago, so i want to know about job prospects and expected average salary of a dental hygienist in canada currently. Is it the same or is there a shift?
Hello doctor,
Even today Dental Hygiene is a well oriented profession with a high demand in new employment. The salary is higher now than before as an average hygienist makes $40 per hour. However, I wouldn’t consider that a good point as the inflation also increased so it merely compensates it.
@@TheToothFactory Ok. Thanks for the information. 😊🙏
Pleasure is ours doctor
Hello doctor
Am looking for collage which offers dental hygiene programs any recommendations please ???
Hi doc i have applied for pg diploma after bds..i have tried for dental hygienist and chances of rejection was high.
Hello doctor yes in today’s time, the dental hygiene course is definitely difficult to get into due to low acceptance rate.
Hello sir, I am a dentist from India and I have received an offer letter for the dental hygiene program for fall 2020. I just wanted to know if there is still a demand for dental hygienists? And I read in one of your comments that you too are a dentist and studying DH. So wanted to know if visa will be a problem?
Really hoping you could help.
Thank you!
Which college is best for DH?
You should be good as long as you are in Canada. It turns out that many colleges stopped the DH program after SEptember 2020, How are you doing? Are you stable? Also, Hygienists as a career is amazing! High in Demand and not just a job to get you through PR but it is a career!
I have heard and studies stats on George Brown to be the top ranking.
R u bds or MDS?? Nd u have PR?
Hello sir , i missed the September intake for this year because i didn't got my Ielts result so is this course available for January intake too?
Hello, I believe there are a limited number of colleges that offer a January program. You can try visiting this website which will narrow some colleges down for you:
www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/programs/health-food-and-medical/dental-hygiene
Type dental hygiene in the search box to narrow down results.
Hope this helps!
Will You please a make a video on College's providing Dental Hygiene Diploma that are eligible for PGWP?
Because many colleges are not.
Surely we can make a video about available institutions offering open dental hygiene diplomas as of now. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hello sir.Please make a video on this requested topic ( different College's providing dental hygiene diploma that are eligible for 3 uear PGWV)
Can a foreign dentist (BDS) work as a dental hygienist in Canada ? If so whats the procedure?
They are able to work after becoming fully licensed at it. Unfortunately in Canada, there is no direct exam route for Hygiene therefore, we must study and pass a diploma course worth 2-3 years.
Hi. Is it okay if I take college level courses in grade 12, or do I have to take university level courses to apply to George Brown?
College level courses should be sufficient
Hi, are there any short term programs for people who completed MDS from India, apply for short study programme to apply for practice in canada?
Beautiful Creations practicing MDS or even BDS in Canada requires a license and a short course for those two is not available we must go through the process of licensing with the NDEB but dental hygiene is a course that can let your practice hygiene and with a strong job scope too.
hlw Doctor,
Thank you for your amazing and informative video.i am from Bangladesh and completed Bds.Then i complete MPH in Bangladesh.But i am not good at statistics. I enjoy more in patient management. Can i apply for DH programme in Canada?
Is it good decision for me.after two year i will come canada as a dependent visa.can i apply DH programme in Canada? As i carry dependent visa.
Hello doctor, I would only recommend applying to hygiene is you are a PR and like you said you will be here in a couple of years. Then yes DH is a good field of sure for PRs. Along with that MHA will also suit you doctor.
Hello doc. Is it true that females are preferred for dental assistant and hygienist positions in Ontario? Is it difficult for males to get hygienist jobs?
Hello doctor unfortunately that myth has been floating around a lot and I am not in the favour of it personally for two reasons:
1.) the employment is never a discriminatory process. Employers are bound tomorrow select candidates based on skill and experience.
2.) my own family member who is a male is a hygienist in Ontario itself and is happy.
Hope this helps.
@@TheToothFactory thanks doc. A sigh of relief! Actually my husband is aspiring to pursue DH in Canada, but heard this rumoured gender bias from someone. Although I didn't trust it, but still wanted to confirm. Thanks for clearing the doubt.

No there is no academic reason you visa should be rejected for.
Hello sir
I'm from India, I used to get good marks till 10th but that dropped in 11-12th PCB (80%) ICSE. I got low marks in physics & chemistry. I tried to cover it up by scoring good marks in my Bsc Hons. Biotechnology, currently in 3rd yr. I got good marks in maths in my 1st year college. Are college marks considered and what is the chance of getting into Dental Hygiene ?
Dental hygiene is currently a highly competitive course which needs one to beat the competition by having great IETLS scores above 7 is highly competitive. With your prior education, the marks are definitely accounted for and in your case your degree is also in science where you take all the courses required for dental hygiene. However , math is also a requirement. Has that been completed?
@@TheToothFactory I have done maths and statistics in my college 1st year not in 12th. And I'm currently preparing for Ielts. I also saw many colleges had psychology as a prerequisite but I didn't had this subject in both school and college.

While i take my equivalency exams, what options do i have in Canada for a job. Is dental assisting opem to me without taking any license or exam. And is it absoltuteky essential to go through school to practice as a hygienist
Hello doctor, to answer your question,
1.) you can work as a dental administrator and level 1 assistant in Ontario more often than other provinces.
2.) you can take the NDAEB exams to become qualified as a level 2 dental assistant to get that job as well.
3.) yes it is mandatory to study at a college in order to become a hygienist

I completed my bds from sudan and I have an ielts score of 7.5 Overall but my college overall grade was good (it amounts to 64.9%) however my high school degrees which In my hometown were high especially in math and i recently got accepted to a master in public health program in my country do you think I could have a good chance of acceptance to a dental hygiene program directly considering my low gpa or should I start my masters in public health now and try to apply after finishing it? Also do I have to have a visa to be able to apply in the first place? Since am also looking into immigrating to Canada.? Thank you
Hello doctor. In your case, you can consider looking into MPH in Canada as an option as well. Dental hygiene seems to have become extremely competitive and many of our international dentists are leaning towards MPH MHA area due to the same reason. You can immigrate to Canada on the basis of student visa journey with such options and considering your BDS and the fact that you would completed MPH in your hometown, you can also use express entry as a direct immigration measure to come to Canada under skilled professional category. So either you can finish MPH and come as PR or you can use MPH as student visa measure to come Canada then later take PR.

Abhijith J youre most welcome doctor 😃
I’m tryna get to a dental hygiene prog’ and I’m kinda nervous. How does colleges decision works? Are they gon’ compare ur grades to other applicants or they’ll get u accepted as long as you passed all the mandatory courses/grades they need?
So the admission process is based on a internally rescaled calculated GPA. This way no matter who applies or which country we cane from, our marks will be put on a scale which the college decides and then whoever has the higher scores will get selected until the seats are filled. This rescaling process is confidential to colleges.
We are speaking on behalf of all colleges with regards to the scoring and admission process not just George Brown.
Hi I completed bds in india i am about to get permanent residence in canada . So i would like to ask some doubts about choosing dental hygiene colleges. How does course offered by community college differ.
Community college is not much different. They just accept students at a lower mark rate than big colleges. Community generally becomes a bridge between high school marks with low score and a big time college or university. Its not bad at all.
First male dental hygienist video. Finally. Is this job just for females only. Majority are women. Just asking
Elijah Thomas hey my friend! Haha no it is not just for women but it is statistically dominated by female population.
Hello what do you say about Algonquin college for dental Hygiene program how is their accptance rate? Thank u in advance!
It is a highly reputed college and a very competitive program all together. The acceptance rate is based on IELTS score weightage and your prior degree scores as well.
hello doctor
i have done my BDS from India and I want to do Dental hygiene program in Canada, can u guide me step by step. i have a doubt that on what basis they choose the candidate for admission. on the basis of 12th marks, or on the basis of BDS.
Hello, so yes there are students I know who have joined into Hygiene program in Canada from clearing Grade 12 in India. They require a solid 75% over all above for all grade 12 science and math courses and a high high score of IELTS. That is a basic requirement. We must rely on separate colleges and their own ways of admissions. For example, Colleges such as George Brown has huge competition where a 75% ma not be enough and they may ask you to upgrading courses but some colleges like Cambrian college in Ontario would accept us. Although due to COVID all has been drawn back and there are no admissions until further notice.
Hi, will you please let me know a few masters programs after bds from India ? Is msc clinical research a good option too?
Absolutely, Msc's are brilliant choices along with Masters in Public Health too.
Hello sir,i have a doubt that can we take admission if we have a visiting visa to canada??
Unfortunately visitor visa does not allow study permission.
Hi doctor u completed final year and starting as an intern I want to settle in Canada which course should i prefer dental hygienist or mha so that I get job and pr
I completed
As of now, MHA seems to be a better option for Canada. But considering COVID finishes.
i am a bds graduate from Bangladesh... can i do MHA in canada? which University should i pick? what about future opportunity and PR?
@@shafkattipu7504 hello, yes you absolutely can do MHA in canada and for some deeper information our video on MHA and MPH is in this link below.
ua-cam.com/video/eXIQMlhl9cw/v-deo.html
Also the universities that offer this course are limited so I recommend applying to at least 5 they are all National level but in preference of admission and education I personally love University of Toronto.

Hi, I know this s question isn't much relevant to topic that u have discussed, but I just wanna some help here
Landing in Canada , and trying a get dental hygienist job without a license is possible until we give our exams related to dentistry,
Hello doctor, no no do not hesitate to ask any question as no questions are irrelevant. Everything we discuss can and will help everyone. So thank you for asking.
Unfortunately, in Canada Dental Hygiene is a heavily standardised profession and attaining an employment without a license is impossible. However, it is possible for Dental Assisting professions.
Is it possible that Canada can accept RDH from foreign countries like Philippines?
Unfortunately we must have a Canadian certificate to practice Hygiene, from any country.
Hey, is it possible to work in Canada when you have bachelor degree and you are 3 years after graduation and working currently in Europe (where received the diploma). Do you need to take some courses or it is not possible to work?
Hello, ideally to be able to work in Canada we must study the course in Canada. Direct work is very narrow in its scope. I can find out for you with more authenticity if I could know which course you studied in your degree and diploma and what job you are working in Europe (also mention the country) thank you.
Hello sir
As i completed my diploma in dental hygiene from India so I am eligible to get a job in Canada or not??
Hello, you would need to pass Hygiene Boards before you can get a license snd practice. Check out this link for more information:

Thank you sir for this informative video I'm from Pakistan I did dental hygienist course 2 years and I have 10 years experience am I eligible for dental hygienist job
Hello, unfortunately we must be fully licensed in Canada and to attain it we must complete a diploma. Canada, does not have a direct exam route for Hygienists.
Thanks for the video sir. I have a question. Firstly, after completing BDS from India, am I eligible for Dental Hygienist course in GB college without maths in grade 12?
If yes, will it be the right choice in opting for this course at this point?
Secondly, what is the difference between the 2/3 year course and 18 month program?
Following
Alright, so for GB college specifically, maths is required although there are some institutions that do not require that. If in the cases where it a compulsion then you also have the option is complete the required math course online to be eligible. It is really simple in procedure. Also all durations of Hygiene will give us a license to practice. It just depends on how the college wishes to administer the course. about 6 years ago it was a 1 year course too.
So sorry for not replying. We had a massive downtime although we are trying to revive the channel again with better and more content.
@@TheToothFactory Thank you so much :)
I've gone through all your recent videos as well. Really helped alot.
Please let me know the colleges based in Ontario that offer a 2 year program in DH.
@@arusingla3409 hello there. Just read your comments and wanted to know if u got any update on DH colleges wth 2 yr timespan.
Can I take hygienist course as an international dentist??? .... M MDS in India... Do n't have PR but can I take hygienist as a course on study visa?
So you are eligible to apply for it for sure, however I do not recommend it for you ad MDS is an over qualification when you’re considering dental hygiene on student visa. There is a high chance of visa rejection.
@@TheToothFactory then what's the other way to come to canada coz direct PR thru express entry not possible now for us
Hello doctor I am currently in 11th and i want to do dental hygiene after my 12 in george brown college but they require maths is it necesary to take math as extra subject?
So, the case is that in order to become a part of the dental hygiene program in colleges like George Brown, one must have an Ontario High School Certificate. But, our qualifications across the seas may only match about 50-60% with an Ontario High School, therefore these colleges ask for separate courses to be finished first such as maths or english and in some cases biology and chemistry too.
Can u check the fee for hygienist in george brown college...coz in website dental hygiene course is given in advanced diploma and it's costs around 13k CAD for each semester
Hello, yes I have verified the information from a representative from George Brown as well as the website, the updated fees for International students for Dental Hygiene is $13,965 per semester. You are right it is high, very high.
Our video was made a couple years back and since then the costs have gone up. We will make sure to update it as well.
Is there any way to skip studying for dental hygienist and work there with a bds degree?
Hello, unfortunately in Canada, it is not possible to practice without a Canadian license given by the association here. Dental Hygiene is considered a well distinguished profession where they are highly monitored and standardized.
Sir I’m from India , I have finished 12th
With subjects maths ,phy , bio, and chem
Am I eligible tostudy in Canada for dental hygiene ???
You absolutely are! There are several student visa applicants who have your credentials who study dental hygiene.
@@TheToothFactory sir , if it is possible can you give me contact details of any of them ?
@@17joyaljoll4 yes for sure! This link consists of all universities and colleges that offer dental hygiene and are accredited by the Canadian Board.

@@rishishah1664 thank you so much sir 😇🙏🏻
Hi I am a graduating dental student from the Philippines. Do I need to take all 6 semesters of the dental hygiene program once I apply for Canadian study?
Thank you.
Yes absolutely they do not credit any semesters therefore we must finish all 6.
Please. What school did you attend for dental hygiene?
Cambrian College, Ontario
Hey if I do my math from tvo Ilc ontario virtual learning program and have scored 7.5 bands in ielts and 91.88% in my 12 with pcb as main subjects . Am I eligible to apply in George brown college
That is the most perfect way to upgrade our missing requirements like maths. Yes you for sure can.
Is there an entrance exam when you go to college like George brown after high school for Dental hygienist?
No no there is no entrance exam per say.
@@TheToothFactory I don’t know what is HOAE test but, is there something to do with dental hygienist?
@@angeljareckgabor278 Okay, so that is an aptitude test basically it measures your knowledge and judgement on scenario basis and assess your ability to do reading comprehension and all. So some health courses requires you to take that test to judge your nature, attitude and judgement skills and all. As per the content of the test, it has 75 questions and you can find a practice test in the link I shared below. It has nothing to do with the Dental Hygiene component of the course but rather the overall health care concept.

Thank you doctor that's very informative. I'm starting my preparations for AFK but I also want to keep hygiene as an option. My profile just got approved and I'll be giving my exam Feb 21.im not sure to go for hygiene and also give AFK or only focus on AFK. If u could kindly guide me. Thank you
what is afk
Any Indian dental instruments, micromoter, airoter, handpieces are useful if I bring it.
All the best ... I request you to please notify us back through the comment after your afk exam. Thank you.
Doctor, your choice to secure your back up is amazing. and AFK is an exam which requires utter focus and attention. We shall try not to juggle between any thing while preparing for AFK.
@@annmariyashaji9690 Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge..it is one of the exams with National Dental Examining Board for international dentists to attempt for getting license..AFK is the first exam one should clear ..then there are other exams after this.
I recently completed my BDS in India . As I want to move to Canada. Some people suggest me to take admission in MPH while some tell me to go for DH.
I am not very good with statistics so I’m leaning more towards DH.
As ultimately I want to practice as dentist and pursue DDS.
Will I be able to do DDS after DH?
Hello doctor, congratulations on becoming a dentist!
And DH in Canada is currently saturated for international applicants. They are accepting applications however, the offers are not being sent out this year. So it would be difficult to carve room into that. If Mph is not of our interest, you can also look into the Office/Health Administration courses such as the one listed below. Many of the international dentists have gone through the student visa journey using this course and then on their work permit/PR part of the journey, they go through the NDEB process.
HEALTH CARE/OFFICE ADMINISTRATION DIPLOMA:
Average cost: $ 30,000 entirely for full course
Conestoga - 2 years
3 Campuses: Guelph, Doon and Kitchner
Link: www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/health-office-administration
Hello,
If I were to go ahead with MPH then what colleges would you suggest?
Also is it possible that after joining Health administration, I can discontinue it for 2 semesters and then go on with some other course?
Sir ,Is there any possibility to work Indian BDS graduate as a dental hygienist in Canada without doing any course. Please reply sir ,
Hello doctor, unfortunately there is a requirement for a Registered Dental Hygienist License to work as a dental hygienist in Canada and for that we kist study in Canada in a college. Unfortunately BDS from back home will not be accounted for equivalency in dental hygiene.
what are first year university credits? does it mean i have to go to uni? i live in vancouver n i want to be a dental hygienist but this part confuses me.
intelligent black child first year university credit means that you will be entered into a bachelor of science degree at first and you will finish dental hygiene in year two three and four of that course but if you have previous university experience with similar courses, you can void the first year off depending on your qualification. Thats the concept of credits.
But, to become a dental hygienist you do not always have to go to a university, you can go to a college.
You live in Vancouver so there is for example, Vancouver Community College that offers dental hygiene as an advanced diploma program.
THE TOOTH FACTORY thank you 😭😭
Hey it would be great if you can list out colleges of dental hygiene for international student , who have just sciene, no maths.
Like my 10th overall was 85%
English 85%
Biology 79%,Maths 69%
12th English 93%
Bio and chem 72%
Can you tell colleges which fit this requirments.Also which colleges, i have higher chances of getting into with these marks ......because if there is a college in which i have higher chances of getting into then i will even take their maths upgrade course.
Really tensed!!
Sure let me look into it and I shall get back yo you in 24 hours. Don’t worry we will find a college.
@@TheToothFactory thank you
@@souhaanisharma me too.....can't able to find any college as for now they are not enrolling international students ......please inform me too if you find out about this
@@ritikluthra2487 sure!
hey did you get admission in DH program
Do you recommend University of Vancouver for dental hygiene?
University of Vancouver is an amazing choice and their admission process is straightforward as well. I recommend it.
Hlo sir I have done my 12th in medical without maths in India.I am now PR holder in Canada.I want to do dental Hygiene. Please tell me which college don’t have maths requirement to get admission in DH in canada
Hello, so this has been a concern for a very long time as the international education system allows us to pick between math courses to be taken or not. However currently, in Canada, all accredited courses are requiring math but considering you are a PR and will be a domestic applicant, you can work on upgrading it with an online math course prior to your admission. Many colleges offer that sort of an upgrade to allow applicants like us to fulfil the requirements.
After completion of 2 years diploma can i enroll in university for getting bachelor? And which university is best for bachelor in dental hygiene.
Absolutely you can it is called upgrading and bridging a diploma into a degree in Canada and you can do it best at University of Toronto. That is my personal top ranking university for dental studies and then comes Western University.
Hello bro, video is so informative 👍🏻.i have a question about study requirements in this course......so i have done my (10+2) from (pcm) 2 years ago and now i also done (10+2) in (pcb) with (88%) so!! My doubt is now i have both non medical & medical stream marksheet in 12th, so is I'm eligible for this course. please help me with this
You sure are my friend your high school studies you have are enough for admissions
Great Greater greatest
Hi. I am planning to do dental hygiene course from fanshawe college. since i dont meet the academic requirements i was asked to do ACE course and it is starting in the month of march. Will i be able to secure seat for September intake then if i score good in ACE course
Yes doctor normally if they offer prerequisites then they want to offer admission and it surely depends on the scores at those courses as well.
Hello sir i have one question please reply me as i got to know that if I want to do diploma in dental hygiene so math is required so after doing pre health science pathways program i can take admission in dental hygiene diploma??? Please reply me
So doctor, pre health sciences are consisting of physics, chem and bio and math as pre-requisites. It allows you to page your path to hygiene and many other advanced diplomas.
however, when colleges are not covering math in pre health which is very rare I must say, then when colleges are told that my course of interest requires math, then they tend to add math a course adjacent to your ore health as well.
In Ontario, it is conducted through a company called the TVO ILC learning.
This is the link to their website:
www.ilc.org/
So, not to worry doctor.
Hi, hope you will help me out with this. I am working in a dental clinic as an admin. Whiteout any dental background. If I go for dental hygiene program, will it be the hardest program for me as no background
Hello, if you opt for dental hygiene program without any background in dentistry, it will seem difficult however, it is doable. Remember, there are hundreds of students of hygiene who came directly out of high school. It is a matter of dedicating the time and efforts to learning new skills and doing your best. You can do it! There are several dental admins who convert to hygiene without having clinical dental experience. I assure you, you will face difficulty but you will also enjoy it and come out stronger and prosperous.
Sir i had done bds from india wanna pursue DDH from abroad ..is it possible to do distance learning and is it worth it???
Unfortunately these courses require an onsite education. It is definitely worth it.
Hello sir am a dental hygienist from pakistan and i have to do job in canada what is the process? Plz tell
Hello! In order to work as a hygienist in Canada, we kist go through the dental hygiene course in Canada. Although there has been recent updates where one internationally trained dental hygienist may be able to take the licensing exam and practice hygiene in Canada. I am still waiting for several authentic answers on the matter but here is the Dental Hygiene Board of Canada’s website that shows to to take the licensing exams to become a hygienist. But again, it is limited to International Dental Hygienists not dentists and you fall in the exact needed requirements.

Please read through this website thoroughly.
sir after completing bds from india is it possible to study dental hygienist cource ? as it is only a bachelor degree so therby any visa rejections and all please reply sir or its good to do mha in canada and what about the estimated cost

Unfortunately the admissions requirements state that we must have bio and chem. Therefore, there is an institution in Ontario knows are TVO-upgrading. they allow you to take and certify courses online from home. Then you can apply successfully.
Can i take these courses from india?
Hello. Is maths compulsory in high school for dental hygiene course?
Yes math is a mandatory requirement for at least one of our prior education, it can be of high school or it can be in college. If not available, it can be mitigated by approaching the upgrading course for math that these colleges can also provide.

Sir how to become a dentist in canada?? Can u plz explain the process after studying 12??
After grade 12, it is more than just a long process. You must have to finish a BSc degree equal in Canada then apply to DDS program. Now to avoid such difficult years of student visa life, many people complete a BDS in India and then use that to finish licensing process in Canada.
