Importance of Cavity-free Canadians

Teeth

The demand for Canadians to have healthier teeth and gums is triggering the federal government to rethink its recognition of foreign dentists’ credentials.  Just announced, a new process will comprehensively assess dentists trained in non-accredited dental schools in efforts to identify qualified candidates immediately eligible to take the national exams for practicing in Canada.

Previously, most of these overseas dentists would require extra training to meet Canadian standards of dental education before being permitted to write the qualifying exams.  Introducing this program will fast-track many perfectly qualified dentists towards resuming their career in Canada.

Candy lovers and chocoholics can all applaud.
