Dental Practise in Canada
The possession of a DMD degree does not automatically confer the right to practise dentistry in any province in Canada or to become a permanent resident or citizen of Canada. Each province has a licensing body which grants a license to practise dentistry within its jurisdiction. Inquiries should be directed to:
The Registrar
BC College of Oral Health Professionals (BCCOHP)
110 – 1765 8th Ave W
Vancouver, BC V6J 5C6
Website: www.oralhealthbc.ca
or to its counterparts in other provinces. Most provinces will accept for registration the certificate issued by the:
National Dental Examining Board of Canada
