Independent Practice

Registered dental hygienists in our province are able to work independently in a variety of settings such as dental hygiene clinics, hospitals, long term care facilities, and can offer mobile services as well. Our regulatory college has established policies and protocols that govern our profession and protect the public regardless of our practice setting. Contact the CDHPEI directly for special licensing.
