Dentists

To practise as a regulated health professional in Ontario, you must be a member of your profession’s regulatory college and hold a certificate of registration. Regulated health professionals are required by law to deliver competent, ethical and professional services, and are accountable to the public through their respective colleges.

The Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) is the regulatory body for dentist practice in Ontario. The College’s mission is to protect the public's right to quality dental services by providing leadership to the dental profession through self-regulation.

To learn more about the registration requirements, please visit the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario website.
