Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of Courses
OUR PROGRAM
With a graduate employment rate of over 90 per cent, the Dental Assisting program provides education leading to a career as a Certified Dental Assistant. The student develops the skills, technical knowledge and clinical experience necessary to work in a professional, ethical and collaborative manner in a variety of settings.
The dental assistant promotes oral health by providing direct client care, chairside assistance and dental education. Students in the program receive experience in chairside procedures, providing client care, infection control and safety protocols as well as management of client records. Learning takes place alongside students in the Dental Hygiene and Restorative Dental Hygiene programs in our on-site dental clinic.
The field placement component provides experience at the University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry, private practice dental offices, public health units or teaching hospitals.
The Dental Assisting program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada. Upon completion of the program, the graduate is eligible to become a candidate for the National Dental Assisting Examination Board examination. Successful completion of the examination is necessary to be eligible to work as a Level II Dental Assistant in Ontario.
