Registration and Renewal

Registration expires annually on the last day of February (unless otherwise specified) and must be renewed prior to expiry.

ANNUAL RENEWAL
In order to practice dental hygiene in British Columbia, applicants must be registered with the College of Dental Hygienists of British Columbia.

Following initial registration, dental hygienists must annually renew their registration before March 1.

More information on renewal can be found in the Annual Renewal section.

Health Profession Incorporation
In 2004 the provincial government approved changes to the college's bylaws to allow dental hygienists to incorporate as health profession corporations for the purpose of providing dental hygiene services.

Registrants may now apply to the board for approval of a dental hygiene corporation name and a health profession corporation permit.
