Hey! Just putting it out there, you are eligible for MSc programs in dentistry even after taking the equivalency exams. OMFS or Ortho might be hard, however the other specialties are very much possible! Take care!

Hey. I'm a dentist from Algeria but I want to work as a dental hygienist in Canada. What do I do?

[@TheToothFactory]

Hello, in your case we must complete the hygiene diploma to practice.

[@omotayoolaoluwaesan]

@@TheToothFactory please how long does the diploma take and how much

[@TheToothFactory]

@@omotayoolaoluwaesan hello, the diploma can take anywhere from 18 months to 36 months depending on where you apply. For example Toronto College of Dental Hygienists is a 18 month Diploma course and colleges like George brown is 36 months. And the cost is about $20,000 per year. Which is about $10,000 per semester. Total cost of the entire program can touch more than $60,000 CAD.

Hey for sure so considering you complete and pass all exams in the equivalency process and also get through the boards exam afterwards, you can be considered a General Practitioner of Dentistry.

[@aishaanwer7773]

Hi doc first of all Thankuu so much for such a informative video. My question is if we come on study visa and enrolled in dental hygiene programme, can we do part time job to bear our university expenses ? If not then we should get the PR ist and then get enrolled in programme so we could get the loan?

[@TheToothFactory]

aisha anwer hello doctor, very good question i must say. The answer is yes you can do a part time job while being enrolled into a student visa course and the limit is 20-24 hours per week. Legally you can work that much per week. And having s PR and coming to Canada and then studying can give you even more benefits with loans compared to student visa. Hope this helped doctor 😎

[@forward4627]

Does the insurance cover RCT and crowns?

[@TheToothFactory]

No unfortunately it does not cover those treatments

[@GAGANDEEPSINGH-eb9pl]

If I want to start DDS course after appearing for AFK exam,is it a must to be a PR,or what method can be taken to enroll after getting AFK score and i am not a PR in Canada

[@TheToothFactory]

A permanent residence is required to be in a university studying DDS. So I would highly recommend going through the AFK while you are in your work permit and by the time you apply for University, you can be eligible for all routes.

[@dishantmahajan5877]

This video is really informative. You have made a point regarding corporate jobs, my question is how do they heir new dentists, like what is the criteria...is there some sort of interview?

[@sandeepkosaraju6797]

Please suggest any study material for preparation...it means a lot to me ...thanks ..

[@TheToothFactory]

Hello doctor!, although there are many classes here in Canada and now a days they provide them online as well. But if we are on the phase 1 of preparation, I strongly recommend using the NDEB reference link I mentioned in this comment. This page shows us all articles that NDEB follows, they are listen past page 11. These articles are just as important as studying from textbooks. I would recommend printing them and highlighting points and studying. Later begin the released questions also. Now, if you do need textbooks approved by the NDEB, then I can provide you the access to those online. I sell access to those books.

[@TheToothFactory]

[@dittikbamba4780]

Hello sir i have recently passed my 12th class with 94%.I want to be a dentist in Canada.Which course should i choose?

[@TheToothFactory]

To be able to qualify for dentistry in Canada, one must have a degree in science which is equal to Canadian standards. Therefore, majority of aspirants take on BDS first, because after BDS in India, we can apply for Dental license through a series of exams.

[@steffysimon8793]

Can u pls mention the study cost for dental hygienist and dentist courses in canada

[@TheToothFactory]

Steffy simon doctor, the costs for dental hygiene for international students is at an average $50,000 CAD and for Denturism $70,000 CAD and for Dental Assistant $20,000 CAD.

[@keerthinair5265]

But to get in an IDAPP or internationally dentist advanced placed program,they require PR or Canadian citizenship..in all universities! What should I do about that? I'm moving to Canada next year and I'm still confused since now the licensing has become so difficult with 4 exams to pass! How did you get placed? Do lemme know please.

[@TheToothFactory]

Yes, you are right. So I recommend going through the student visa, then during work permit study for AFK, and apply for university, by the time you get to the stage where you apply for university, you would have finished you NDEB equivalency and studied for AFK, once your work permit turns in to PR, you can apply for university. Meanwhile, you can finish AFK early and go through the ACJ and ACS as well after which you can also take University route and who knows maybe you get a licences and you could be okay with it as well. So it is a matter of starting in your work permit time.

[@srivastavayuktha]

Hello sir. I am planning to give the NDEB exam. I am a part of the course of the BDS course from India. After passing the NDEB exam what is the procedure?

[@TheToothFactory]

After you pass the NDEB exams, you must take the boards exam which is what every dentist in Canada has to take to get a provincial license to practice.

[@bhumapatel1151]

Which university provide dental hygiene or denturism course ,what are their fees?and where do we get jobs after doing these couse and do we need to clear licensing exercises after doing that couse?

[@TheToothFactory]

Hello, I have copied a link here that can help you narrow down your choice of institution you wish to apply to. www.cdha.ca/cdha/Education/Students/Dental_Hygiene_Schools___Programs/CDHA/Education/Students/Dental_Hygiene_Schools___Programs.aspx We all must clear the licensing exam to practice any options after completing the course. We can get a job anywhere in Canada, you can apply to all open positions and go through the interview process for the jobs.

[@linaresandy]

Thanks for your videos! Can you make a video explaning the pathway to become dentist as a foreign-trained dentist? It's a good option begin studiying to be dental hygienist while you prepare the documents, get experience and work while your finish the universit program or get the license?

[@TheToothFactory]

Andres Linares yes doctor, we are finally getting back on track with our channel. We had a little bump on the way but more content will be posted sooner now. If you wish to know our step wise format please provide me with your email Id and I shall share it through there for a faster response. Dental Hygienist is a very ideal career to begin with for aspiring dentist. The process of becoming a dentist in Canada lengthy and without a doubt you will need a back up career.

[@tamannasandhu2351]

Hey, I'll be moving to Ontario as an international student, I'm planning to have braces so are braces includes in college health insurance and if not..if someone already had it from India and want to continue the treatment in Ontario then how much will it cost? Same as original cost or less as only maintenance will be done then ..and also if I intend to start the treatment there itself then how much will it cost?

[@TheToothFactory]

Hello, this is a good question. So I strongly do not recommend flying with mid-treatment of orthodontics because the approach of two orthodontists can be different. Also, it is not covered in the health insurance. It is around the cost of $7000-10,000 approximately. This can however change if one has a full-time job which for international student is not possible as there is a cap of hours of employment during studying.

[@Mrgill0097]

Sir im a canadian citizen but i completed my degree from india. Im currently doing my internship here in india. I wanted to ask if i have any upper hand in aquiring the dds program once i come back to canada and my second question is - how much do supplies matter? Is it impossible for someone with a few supplies or detainments in bds to clear the afk and get the license?

[@TheToothFactory]

Hello, I took the same route. I am Canadian and I went to India for my BDS. We do not have an upperhand we are equal to any other applicant. Also, the whole concept is based on preparation so few supplies or study resources will make it more difficult. We will soon be making a video on what and how to study AFK.

[@khadijamughal5874]

I am a dental student Can u plz guide me how can i practice in canada after bds N from where u have graduated?

[@TheToothFactory]

Sure, once you finish BDS you can apply to come to Canada on student visa and your first goal should be to achieve a PR and in the process let the NDEB give you equivalency for taking Dental exams. Once you cleared that process you can take the three exams AFK, ACJ and ACS to become a practicing dentist in Canada and you can use your student visa route to get your PR.e

[@kajju1987]

[@ayadtalip8300]

hi.before we enter to the diploma of dental hygienist is there any exam to do

[@reshumaan7857]

Hello sir, I want to pursue dentistry in Canada...I did bds from india.. Plz guide me regarding this..what course should I choose..

[@TheToothFactory]

Hello, so your first goal should be to achieve PR and to get into student visa through to work permit and PR, you need a solid two year course and preferable in health field such as health care management, health care administration. This way you can have a stable job as well in your work permit time where you can study for NDEB as well.

[@Mariarose33]

Good job on the video.very informative.im a pediatric dentist currently working in india.been looking into the licensing procedures for specialist in canada.Seems impossible. any advice..

[@TheToothFactory]

Rose Joseph hello sir, thank your for the blessings. Now it is not truly impossible sir, it is highly hiighlllyyy competitive. Which is what makes it scary. Although what most MDS practitioners from India do is, they come to Canada to get the DDS license. See your study and experience as an MDS is far more than needed for a DDS license. You are able to clear exams of just DDS better and faster than regular students. So i do strongly suggest you chase after DDS rather than MDS. It is not impossible for you to come s peds dentist here but it is more likely you will become a DDS general dentist.

[@TheToothFactory]

Shifa faizal Habib hello doc so the United states works a little different. They now have an exam called INBDE which now clubs both part 1 and part 2 as previously done separately. Once you clear those exams you are eligible to apply for the DDS program at a University there. You must wait to be accepted and then go through the four years of DDS and clear the national boards to become a licensed dentist. While in Canada, you can still become a Licensed Dentist by taking exams through the equivalency process of NDEB.

[@omotayoolaoluwaesan]

@@TheToothFactory hello thank you the video, please as an international student do still need to go through a 4 yrs degree to get DDS in Canada, i initially thought it was a 2 year degree instead of 4 for foreign students

[@TheToothFactory]

@@omotayoolaoluwaesan hello so for canada, international dentists can practice in two ways. One is the exam route through NDEB exams which can get you a license to practice and a university route which can get you a degree. This route can take from 2-4 years to complete depending on which university you apply to. Now a days the international dental advanced placement program which is IDAPP can take 3 years after you apply to it and grt accepted. Here is a link for details.

Vishnu kumar JK hello doc for sure I can help. Assuming you are a PR in the near future, you can directly appear for NDEB equivalency process for getting a dental license in Canada. There are three major exams that you must clear and then a set of board exams that every dental student in Canada takes. This process can take anywhere from 2-5 years depending on how you perform sir. The job opportunities are high in demand for health care workers including dentists. The salaries can range anywhere from $70,000 to $140,000 depending on where you are in the country and your position in a clinic. Well experienced dentist in Canada can earn upto $200,000 as per my observation. Hope this helped doc!
