Certified Dental Assisting Program’s Direct Patient Care Clinic

Every May, the Certified Dental Assisting Program at Okanagan College runs a Direct Patient Care Clinic. This initiative allows students to provide preventive care to family, friends and the community as part of their graduation requirements.

This year’s clinic will take place from May 9 to May 30. During your visit a limited dental examination will be conducted and a treatment plan may be prescribed by the on-site dentist. One of our certified dental assistant students will then complete the prescribed treatment.

Treatments that may be prescribed during your appointment include:

  • Dental X-rays
  • Enamel Sealants
  • Dental Polishing
  • Fluoride Treatment
  • Nutritional Advice Specific to Oral Health
  • Individualized Oral Hygiene Demonstration & Instruction
