Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of Courses
OUR PROGRAM
 The restorative dental hygienist is an experienced graduate dental hygienist who performs restorative procedures in addition to traditional preventive duties.
Applicants must be registered to practice dental hygiene in Ontario and have at least one year of experience as a dental hygienist.
The restorative dental hygienist, in compliance with the standards of practice approved by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario, places and finishes amalgam, composite and temporary restorations, takes final impressions, cements temporary crowns and performs orthodontic procedures.
Learning takes place in co-ordination with Dental Technology, Denturism and Dental Assisting students. Students practice various procedures on a manikin, after which they work in our on-site clinic, performing restorative and cosmetic procedures on clients.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Clinical Pre-placement Health Form
Students must meet all medical and legal requirements for this program outlined on the Pre-Placement Health Form. This may take up to four months. To see those requirements and to download your program health form visit www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement. Students who are unable to comply will be unable to complete their field placement and therefore unable to graduate. All costs, service fees and fines associated with the overall health form requirements are the responsibility of the student. For more information, please contact Suzette Martinuzzi, Pre-placement Coordinator at smartinu@georgebrown.ca or visit www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement
Vulnerable Sector Police Record Check
In compliance with requests from our clinical practice partners, all students in this program are required to have completed an annual vulnerable sector police check. These reference checks are done to protect clientele who are considered “vulnerable persons” and may take up to four months. The majority of students will receive a “clear” police check; some will have a “not clear” police check.
Students are required to keep the original copy of their vulnerable sector police check. The placement agency will be provided with the names of all students proposed for placement at that agency who have received a “not clear” police check. As the university/college will not be aware of the reason for a “not clear” police check, the reason for the lack of clearance will not be divulged to the agency as this information is not part of the check. The agency will then make the decision whether or not to accept the students for placement. This agency decision may require the student to self-disclose the particulars of the “not clear” police check. Students have the right not to disclose the particulars of the “not clear” police check, in which case the agency may refuse to accept them. Students denied placement by an agency on the grounds of a “not clear” police check will not be able to complete their practice placement, and therefore may be unable to complete the program. All costs, service fees and fines associated with the police check requirements are the responsibility of the student.
Failure to have the police check results completed and submitted by the due date, will result for student being excluded and ineligible to participate in field or clinical placement and therefore unable to continue for next semester. For more information in how to apply and obtain your specific regional police service vulnerable sector application form, please visit www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement or contact Suzette Martinuzzi, Pre-placement Coordinator at smartinu@georgebrown.ca
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR Level-C) Certification
All students must successfully complete the approved CPR Level-(C) course and it must be renewed annually, before commencing the clinical lab courses. These requirements are a pre-requisite for entry into the clinical practicum.
Students will not be eligible to participate in the clinical area if they do not hold current CPR level-(C) certificate. Current means “up-to-date” on a yearly basis for CPR. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange for and take the CPR course outside of regularly scheduled classes. You may register and take these courses at any Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) approved First Aid Training  establishment available in your area. The CPR level-(C) certificate must be presented to the student’s assigned clinical professor on or before the first clinical practice day of each semester in order for the student to take part in clinical practice in the agency assigned. All costs, service fees and fines associated with this requirement are the responsibility of the student. For more information, please download and read carefully your program health form at www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement or contact Suzette Martinuzzi, Pre-placement Coordinator at smartinu@georgebrown.ca

 Vered Kadashev always knew that she wanted to be a health-care professional. After completing both nursing and dental hygiene, she had finally found her passion in health care.
Vered has been practicing as a dental hygienist since 2006; prior to this she had graduated from nursing in 2004. She realized that her passion in health care was in the dental field, and decided to go that route. Vered is always looking to grow in the dental hygiene profession, and therefore decided to do the restorative dental hygiene program at George Brown College.
With all the knowledge Vered already had, it just urged her to expand in the profession she had already loved.
"I couldn’t think of a better learning facility for the restorative dental hygiene program. The clinical instructors and dentists are extremely knowledgeable and are always there to teach with great pleasure. I am especially thankful to have had such amazing instructors in all aspects of the program. The program co-ordinator did such a great job in putting together quite a complex course, and made it simple and enjoyable for us. In completing the course, I feel comfortable with the knowledge that I now have to go out there in the real world and put my skills to work."
Vered Kadashev (2010 graduate, Restorative Dental Hygiene)
