Our mission is to safeguard the public from harm and discrimination by diligently overseeing safe, competent, ethical, and team-based oral health care, ensuring trustworthiness in our regulatory practices.

  • We put people first. We recognize that the most important resource in delivering our mission is the diversity and knowledge of people. 
  • We do what we say. We are committed to achieving meaningful outcomes for patients and the public, and to being transparent about our work and its impact.

  • We take the long view. Through continuous improvement, we use our influence to make a positive impact today and in the future. 
  • Regulatory leadership: Identify strategic opportunities within regulatory modernization, including seamless transition to new governing legislation.
  • Cultural safety and humility: Uphold Indigenous rights and promote reconciliation through the regulation and delivery of oral health care.
  • Health equity and anti-discrimination: Prevent harm and discrimination to create equity in oral health care experience, delivery and outcomes.
