As part of our ongoing work to unify regulatory functions, we have consolidated oral health professional information to improve our public register experience for the public, and the online portal for oral health professionals. Both updates launched on November 12.
Public register changes
Our new public register streamlines the search process, eliminating the use of separate registers for each type of oral health professional. Users can now search a single register for certified dental assistants, dental technicians, dental therapists, dentists and denturists. Please note that the dental hygienist public register will continue to operate separately for now.
New online portal
The new online portal for certified dental assistants, dental technicians, dental therapists, dentists and denturists will allow oral health professionals to complete more services online. This varies depending on what type of oral health professional, so OHPs can refer to the dedicated emails they received for tailored information. Dental hygienists will see changes to their online portal and public register during the next phase of the project.
