You are doing a great job. Crisp and clear answers. I have watched many channels regarding the same but your answers were to the point. Thanks a lot and god bless!
It is so nice to hear that we could be of help to our fellow dentists around the globe. Thank you so very much for your kind words and it helps us stay motivated to further make this journey easier.
Hello doctor. You are doing an amazing job. Im BDS with 3 yrs of experience. I want to get into Dental Hygiene program but I saw the Requirement for Dental Hygiene colleges is about 60% to 70%, which I have in few subjects but not in others. Will my 12th marks being below the Requirement in Biology and Maths be a problem when I'm a 3 yr practicing Dentist already?
Hello doctor! Thank you for your gentle appreciation. And with your BDS and the experience you have there is no reason why a college would reject your admission application. High school marks are considered although your BDS overpowers it all. Do not worry, go for it and we shall see you in Canada shortly!
Sir I'm a dentist and completed my masters in forensic odontology from national Forensic Sciences University Gujarat. I'm planning to go to canada...sir guide me will it be better if i get into health care management programme one year in Conestoga College will that be useful or should I go to dental assistant by NDAEB exam ....which is better for work permit and PR sir
So doctor in recent times the colleges may offer you admissions but the visas offices tend to reject visas for applicants who choose courses that are below the applicant’s prior academic milestone. So with your masters in hand, it would be difficult for you to get a visa approval for a one year health management program. The problem is not the college. They will offer you the admission but its the visa offices. Now taking into account NDAEB, yes it is a good route for getting a job as an assistant but it is not much helpful with respect to PR. My recommendation is to seek express entry direct PR to Canada. You have a masters and other factors are IELTS, age, marital status, monetary support and more. So consider that as well doctor. Hope this helps.
Can BDS graduates apply for denturist programs, or are these programs exclusively for recent A-level or Intermediate graduates? I've heard that BDS graduates may face visa challenges when applying for courses like denturist programs, given that they are considered college diplomas.
You have hear correct doctor. Yes, you can apply and also get admission into denturist or dental hygiene as an international student, however, recently it has been observed that visa rejections have spiked for BDS grads coming to Canada for a course lower than what they already earned. So a degree earned as strong as BDS is observed to be rejected for a diploma that is technically a step down from a degree. However, we must also mention the other side of the coin. There are exceptional acceptances for courses in health management and administrations and they are diplomas as well. So we must be very careful when choosing a course. Denturist may not be the best option as of 2023 doctor.
Hello doctor thank you so very much for your amazing generosity. We really value your appreciation. So I have pasted a link below of a PDF document that takes you stepwise on how to apply for equivalency and there is also a section it that shows what documents are required from us as applicants and what documents are required to be sent by our university back home directly to NDEB office. ndeb-bned.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/equivalency_process_required_documents_2020.pdf Also check this link out below for more information as well: ndeb-bned.ca/equivalency-process/how-to-apply/required-documents/
Hello doctor I have just completed my bds in Jan 2022 and now I’m planning to do some course in Canada.. looking at all the benefits of PR, I’ve opted for this country Many of my friends and seniors they are doing PGD in public health, health administrative and health informatics I don’t know about the job opportunities but since many of the people are applying to these course, do you think the time I will complete my course it might get saturated. Also these are all 1yr course and to get 3yrs work permit you need to do a 2nd yr course too.. so what you’ll suggest? Plus is dental hygienist better than these courses in terms of salary and PR?
Hello doctor firstly congratulations on becoming a dentist! Truly a magnificent achievement doc! Now you concepts about the academic years and work permit is completely correct. And yes recently a lot of dentists have chosen the courses that you have mentioned. However, at The Tooth Factory I recommend a certain fleet of courses that serve two functions for us: 1.) keep a strong contender for PR which means the work permit is longer and the points are higher for these courses 2.) it acts as a promising back up career until our journey as dentists in Canada is finished. The NDEB journey can take long at times and until then we must have a strong career in the back that allows us to consistently afford out lives and also afford our education and raise a family. Therefore, the courses I recommend are as follows: MASTERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH: THE TOOTH FACTORY Video: ruclips.net/video/tTYXcnDll6w/видео.html Average Cost: $15,000 per semester, total is about $50,000-$60,000 1.) Lakehead university- 2 years Link: 2.) University of Ottawa - 2 years Link: catalogue.uottawa.ca/en/graduate/master-public-health/#overviewtext 3.) Memorial University - 2 years Link: www.mun.ca/become/graduate/programs-and-courses/public-health/ 4.) Simon Fraser - 2 years Link: www.sfu.ca/fhs/graduate/prospective/mph.html 5.) Western University - 2 years or 1 Year Link: www.schulich.uwo.ca/publichealth/ (Choose 2 years since we will need 2 years of work permit with it) MASTERS OF HEALTH ADMINISTRATION: THE TOOTH FACTORY video: ruclips.net/video/MTS775m0CGs/видео.html Average Cost: $10,000-16,000 per semester, total is about $45,000-65,000 1.) University of Ottawa - 2 years Link: catalogue.uottawa.ca/en/graduate/master-health-administration-mha/ 2.) Dalhousie University - 2 years Link: www.dal.ca/academics/programs/graduate/health-administration/program-details/master-program.html 3.) University of British Columbia - 2 years Link: www.grad.ubc.ca/prospective-students/graduate-degree-programs/master-of-health-administration 4.) Ryerson University - 2 years (last option) Link: www.ryerson.ca/tedrogersschool/master-health-administration-community-care/ DENTAL HYGIENE DIPLOMA: THE TOOTH FACTORY video: ruclips.net/video/ZI2LgxALG9A/видео.html Average Cost: $10,000-12,000 per semester, total cost is: $60,000-70,000 Average duration: 2-3 years (majority courses are 3 years) Link to all Dental hygiene courses in Ontario: www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/programs/health-food-and-medical/dental-hygiene?q=dental%20hygiene&page=0 Instruction: under the search box, write hygiene and it will narrow down colleges that provide hygiene with open or closed status. My personal recommendation are: 1.) Confederation College 2.) Fanshawe College 3.) Niagara College 4.) Cambrian College HEALTH CARE/OFFICE ADMINISTRATION DIPLOMA: Average cost: $ 30,000 entirely for full course Conestoga - 2 years 3 Campuses: Guelph, Doon and Kitchner Link: www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/health-office-administration I do want to mention that dental hygiene used to be one of the most popular and chosen courses but due to increasing applicants and competitive nature of the program, the admission rate has dropped significantly. Therefore, I would consider the other options first. Hope this helps.
Hi sir I'm currently in bds final year and planning to move canada for further studies, but as i saw the expenses, I'm confused to choose any course, please tell me, can i afford my expenses with part time job? And would it affect my studies too? And what should i do to get a longer work permit?
Hello doctor, I understand your situation. In terms of coming to Canada with the purpose of attaining PR and then DDS through NDEB, our first goal is to choose a course that is most feasible to us. Keeping in mind duration, expenses and difficulty as well as getting a 3 year work permit post graduation, I believe in 2023-2024, this is our best choice: HEALTH CARE/OFFICE ADMINISTRATION DIPLOMA: Average cost: $ 30,000 entirely for full course Conestoga - 2 years 3 Campuses: Guelph, Doon and Kitchner Link: www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/health-office-administration Part time job is able to help you afford your semester fees and living expenditure for sure however,we may have live extremely calculatingly. It would not affect your studies as long as the discipline of staying in track with assignments and exam prep is maintained. It is definitely a difficult journey full of academic, emotional and financial turmoil. But the grass is definitely greener on the other side doctor. Hope this information helps!
Hi sir..i am bds graduate..can i apply directly for dental assistant job in canada...or should i need to clear any exams or need to do assistant course there
That is a good question. So the answer is subjective due to the provinces of residence. For example, it is nearly impossible to find a DA job in Alberta without a RDA license from within Canada itself. However, in Ontario there is a higher probability of finding the dame job without a RDA. For example, when i was in Ontario, I used to work as a dental assistant there without having a dental assistant license. Then when we moved to Alberta, I was unable to find a job soI had to get through the exams of NDAEB and go the RDA license and began a dental assisting job in Alberta.
I am a little less knowledgeable in PR applications doctor but it is a bachelor degree that we get back home. So my assumption would be bachelors. However, please do seek professional aid for it.
Let's say that did dental hygiene Program. I became certified as well. Now tell me will a clinic hire me considering I am a male international candidate.
Hello, I am glad you asked this question because there is a significant misconception around the subject of job prospects of a male hygienist. However, Canada is one place that does not work on gender discrimination and fortunately when we apply for a job as a Dental Hygienist, the job application does not ask whether we are a male or female. There are two areas that an employer will determine our eligibility on: 1.) Dental Hygiene Academics (certification and attempts of qualification taken) 2.) Inter-Personal skills as a health care professional. I personally know a few male hygienists myself and they are very happy to be working for dentists and clinic owners who are females as well. So yes, the clinics will hire you if you are a male international candidate as well.
Hi sir I'm doing my final year bds rn. And I want to get into dental hygiene program but as I saw the requirements I didn't take maths in my 11 12th will that be an issue ?
I M A DENTIST FROM INDIA,, took 3.5 hrs more than usual to finish dentistry with 65% average, I m currently pursuing health care administration from Conestoga college, but I aspire to apply for mph or mha as well , as recommended by you lakehead nd Ottawa universities have good acceptance rates but as I visited the lakerhead university site,, for mha and mph,, they have highlighted that the courses aren’t fit for dentists/ medical docs,, can I get any information as to if the university is still accepting applicants,, also my last query is if I try to register with Ndeb, would I be successfully registered nd eligible to appear form exams given my academic records
So University like Lakehead or Ottawa tend to steer international dentists away from Mph and MHA when we inquire because they do not want us to use MPH or MHA as a degree to jump to dentistry with. They want us to stay in that field permanently so the community can get more MHA MPH graduates. But you can still apply for those programs and successfully complete them. As far as your academic record is concerned, I do not think it would hinder your NDEB application. What is important is that you are a dentist and applying to NDEB. So yes go for it doctor and take on NDEB process.
Hello doctor, getting into the masters in public health is a very good field however, I am not sure how you would pursue MPH in dentistry. To study anything in dentistry, especially masters, we need a DDS from an accredited institution.
Hello doc. I have done MDS in Pediatric Dentistry in India and got good percentage. But my BDS grades were not good and not sure whether it will make CGP of 3. So for NDEB, what they will consider, BDS or MDS marks?
Hey doc! Glad to hear about you MDS. The NDEB does not look at GPA. The NDEB looks for equivalency which means, since you have MDS and got good marks, that is where their evaluation ends as they know you are equivalent to a DDS in Canada and are able to directly challenge the boards. Your MDS should be fine. Now if you ever were to try to get into a college for any program that is when GPA are checked but eventhen you are one step ahead. Your MDS is your shield doc. You got nothing to worry.
Hi, I just stumbled upon your channel. I'm a practicing periodontist in India. Do I need to go through all the stages of the NDEB as an undergraduate or only a few steps if I want to complete the equivalency process?
Hello doctor, so for becoming a dentist in Canada, there is a route for BDS to DDS or MDS to MDS. In your case with your Periodontist Degree as MDS, you are qualified to take the DSCKE exam which is a specialty exam for MDS to MDS. You are also eligible to take the AFK-ACJ-NDECC exams which are for BDS to DDS(general dentistry license) Both these route are parts of NDEB equivalency process pertaining to different goals. Hope this helps doc!
That’s highly informative, may I know if one clears the qualifying exam for masters; can they also work as general dentists or only as the specialists, thanks
Hello, yes so how this concept works is, one way or the other english pre-requisite must be fulfilled. So if you apply to a college for a diploma or a bachelor’s degree then they will ask for proof of english in one of two ways: 1.) high school completed in English recognised by Canada or 2.) pro-efficiency exam like IELTS in case high school was not completed in Canada Similarly if you apply to MHA or MPH which are master’s degrees then we need to provide the previous education (which would be a bachelor’s) done in english recognised by Canada or a pro efficiency exam like IELTS. Now international students who have not completed high school or a bachelor’s in Canada will have to provide english exam IELTS regardless of the residency status. Hope this helps in clarifying the concept behind IELTS
You are doing a great job, man…. Just one question. Wouldn’t getting student visa for Dental Hygiene course be an issue considering one has already done Bachelor’s degree (BDS) in the home country. How do you make a strong case for yourself in that scenerio. Thanks a lot in advance.
Thank you doc, so I always try to clarify this confusion with our viewers that your bachelor's will not make your student visa be rejected. You definitely are over-qualified but that does not mean they will not give you admission or not a student visa. They want you to take the courses and come abroad to study, it is how their economy grows essentially. There is no reason I see in which your visa could be rejected considering all other requirements are also met like the IELTS scores and more.
@@TheToothFactory sir, but there is high chance of visa rejection when we apply for dental hygiene course after bds since they tend to doubt y we r choosing a degree lesser than our current degree , is it for settling there n all n get rejected easily, so most agencies r not supporting it n they r telling us to choose health pgms, is it true?
So yes I have been getting feedback from international agencies and their clients that dental hygiene is not being prioritised by the agents. This however is not due to over-qualification. The reason why I know this because I know several BDS grads in the past who have done hygiene in Canada. The reason is now a days health programs are inviting students with less restrictions and therefore the agencies are having an easier admissions rate. So they are promoting health courses. I too used to be in hygiene at one point. See our goal ultimately is to achieve PR and be eligible to achieve DDS in Canada. In that case, take the entry with one of your top 3 priorities and if that entails health courses then might as well include them in your list. I hope this helps Ashly. 😊
@@TheToothFactory thanku sir, sir for taking a hygeine pgm then is there so mny restriction, like high ilets score or any cpd pgms do we need to complete?
So for hygiene there is a strong IELTS score needed for sure which is minimum of 6.5 but I always recommend our applicants aim a 7. No other courses will be needed other than your BDS and IELTS.
Hello sir. As you explained that the dental hygiene program requires the high school certificate for admission, so if we want to take up the program after bds what are the chances of rejection of our sop as we are taking up an undergraduate course?
Hello doc! So minimum require are high school but you can still apply using a BDS. There are several BDS grads who did hygiene in Canada. I believe they may have competition but not rejection due to BDS.
@@TheToothFactory Actually here in India the consultants are telling otherwise now. They are stressing more on healthcare administration courses which I personally don't want to persue.
The reason why they are saying that is because hygiene is highly competitive now and health care is accepting new students at a higher rate than ever before. There are more chances for you to get into health care as of 2022. Hygiene is saturating slowly doc.
Generally on student visa process people go through the course then graduate and then go on work permit. People then study on work permit and then take the AFK. Later when they get to apply for PR when work permit ends, they apply to university with their AFK score. This lines up the timeframe
Hello, Thank you for sharing this information. I am a foreign-trained dentist and want to work as dental assistant. Can you guide me regarding the procedure about harp certification in Toronto .
Hello yes, so recently it has come to my attention that an eight month dental assistant course or the NDAEB examination should be completed after BDS in order to practice dental assistance in Canada. Just HAARP is not available anywhere else other than Niagara but I have observed that it has not been sufficient enough to practice clinical assistance in dental science.
@@richealsmith3872 Surely, the NDAEB allows us internationally trained dentists to take the theory and practical licensing exam for dental assisting board of Canada to be able to practice in Canada as assistants. Here is the link for the same: ndaeb.ca/international-graduates-application-procedure/
Hi doc could you plz telll me can a bds do nursing course there in canada eveyone is saying nursing is the best course to so in canada Thank you in advance
So in order to do MDS in Canada, we must be graduated from a Canadian Board Accredited University with the DDS degree. With our internationally achieved dental credentials, MDS directly in Canada is not routed.
Hello. I didn't have maths in my 12th. But, I am an MDS. Can i consider opting for dental hygienist after getting my PR? The thing is i don't want to get into the lengthy procedure of clearing exams.
I understand your circumstances and concerns doctor and Dental Hygiene is an amazing profession as well and well earned as well. After PR it is better to choose due to the admissions and fees being eased after PR. If you wish doctor, we can talk over our free zoom meetings to discuss your concerns about dentistry in Canada. Sometimes discussions can help bring clarity to making a decision as NDEB may be lengthy and painful, it may just be the same length in time for you to achieve NDEB license as it would be for you to go through MPH MHA or DH.
What I mean to say is it is worth giving NDEB a chance considering your extensive background in dentistry with a MDS on your wings as well as the experience in dentistry that you hold. See establishing a backup career is definitely a good idea especially when you immigrate to a new country however, when you do become a hygienist or get a job with your MHA or MPH, you may miss Dentistry and feel like, I could have at least attempted dentistry. So to avoid this feeling of loss, NDEB can be given a chance. However, doctor it is completely a person preference as everyone have their own circumstances and reasons. I completely understand that perspectives. I only elaborate so much to be able to protect the dentistry in your profile and of course if there is even 1% chance that I can contribute to having you become a dentist in Canada then I will try my best because the grass is definitely greener on the other side, it is just that the grass rakes a lot of water, sunlight, fertiliser and time.
Hello Pankaj, unfortunately the Dental Hygiene board in Canada requires us to study the whole diploma course again which is of 2-3 years in duration depending on where you apply. Only then we are able to practice further.
Loved your content regarding dentistry in Canada. I m BDS dentist from India with three backlogs. Is there any consequences in approval of documents for NDEB?
Hello doctor! No there should not be. The NDEB evaluates the completion of your BDS. Once approved you’re set to head towards the exams. I recommend applying for the evaluations with NDEB as soon as you can even though you may not plan to take the exams right now. Good luck Doctor! Btw my name is Rishi too 😃 close enough haha! Thank you for your appreciation as well.
@@TheToothFactory Thank you very much. It helps a lot. Glad to hear resemblance of names😄Yup I surely apply in NDEB as soon as I get PR status. Right now I finished healthcare administration and service management and started working full time. Anyways waiting for upcoming video and look forward to contact you in future. Great work again, thank you.
@@rushipatel4454 hey doc, you do not have to wait until you get a PR to apply for NDEB equivalency. That process can take upto 8 months. I would get it started brother.
For sure it is a simple three step method: 1.) the NDSKE exam that allows you to go to step 2 2.) the dental speciality assessment and training program 3.) once you clear 2 you can take the national speciality board exam 4.) you can apply for your licensure. Here is the official link with a simple description of the steps. ndeb-bned.ca/specialty-certifications/entry-to-practice-dental-specialists/
Hellow brother. I am bds graduate from Nepal and got nearly 3 year experience ,, can I apply directly for pr with express entry getting high IELTS score from my home country without Canadian dental registration or we need to give ndeb exam ?? Then only we can apply for pr ??
Hello, thank you for that amazing video, I had infact messaged you via Instagram and Facebook, but in vain, this video is a reply to my message though, I would like to ask though, can a foreign trained dentist directly apply for DENTAL HYGIENIST licensing exams without doing the course?...Is it mandatory to do the course?...please clarify Waiting for part 2...good luck
Hello, we apologise for the delays as we recently have taken charge to uplift the channel again into function. Also dental hygiene in Canada must be achieved through the course. There is no direct exam route for Dental Hygiene in Canada. In the US there is a direct route. The second part is on the most appropriate choices of non dental options for people who want to drift away from Dentistry after coming to Canada. It should be uploaded in the next 12 hours.
@@TheToothFactory thanks a ton for the reply, can we get a student visa for dental hygienist course? Is age a barrier for admission to this particular program?
@@haimden absolutely you can apply for dental hygiene using student visa and the only age barrier is the successful and competitive finishing of your high school back home.
Our pleasure :) like mentioned if when you apply, there is something missing it does not mean you are never allowed to get the admission. The college you apply to will ask for you to complete the missing upgrades and in your case it is maths. Trust me doc, some people who have had maths in there grade 12 have also been asked to repeat it. Once you complete the upgrade you are all set.
I finish my diploma in dental hygiene which is 3 year course after 10th in my home country nepal 🇳🇵 what are our scopes is that same as bds ? How can i change my nepal license into Canadian license!!
Hey doctor What is the minimum % of marks in bds required to be an eligible candidate to give exam for license to practice as a dentist. Thanks in advance
Hello! So for the NDEB licensing it goes by your degree. To be eligible to take the licensing exam, they will not look at your percentages. They will look at your degree, and internship completion certificate. And the fact that you are a dentist.
Yes ielts is a proof of english studies so its either the ielts score or a canadian highschool diploma graduation which for sure contained english as a course.
Sir , I’m a D3 student here in India, I am willing to take the University route to complete DDS and hoping to settle there , rather than completing the Exams ACJ and ACS . But to go through University ,PR is necessary , so doing a degree like MPH or MHA and then work there avail PR and then go through NBED process , is this possible or did I miss anything and. would this be helpful ? Please help me in this
You are on he perfect route there doc. The only thing I would recommend that can save you about a year is for you to apply for NDEB equivalency during your study of MPH MHA and take your first NDEB exam which is the AFK during your workpermit time period. That way the moment you are a PR, you can submit an admission application to DDS. So basically do not wait until you are a PR to take the NDEB exam. Other than that you are well off doc!
@@jonathannavara7341 Hey bro even I want to follow ur method but I don't want to do DDS, after doing Mph and while job getting PR there can we write NDEB exam and become dentist there?
Hey doc, so the licensed dentist can only practice dentistry and own a clinic. This prevents us from studying MDS or teaching at a university if that is what you goal is. But on the other hand it is cheaper to go through the licensing process by a huge amount of money. It also saves time since three exam can take up to 2 years to clear only. A degree route opens more doors like teaching, or MDS with practicing as well. Although it is more expensive than license about 4 times as much cost. With degree we need a PR and it is a must while licensing does not need a PR from us. The degree it self is 2-3 years long let alone the AFK time. So it is a little longer. Now the biggest factor is the quality of development or skills in dentistry. Dentistry is far different and even though the licensing procedure can get us a way to begin practicing, it will not teach us the standards and Canadian norms. So this is my personal opinion that to become a dentist, licensing is perfect but to become a successful and reputed dentist, i believe degree route is more advantageous. Hope this helps doc.
Oh absolutely doctor. You can apply for Ndeb equivalency with any form of arrival as long ad your degree is complete and the only thing you need a PR for in this process is if you wish to study at. University to get a DDS degree.
Hello, you can apply from India itself. For example, in Ontario, if we wish to apply to a college, we generally do it from Ontario Colleges Portal. We shall make a video on it to show how it is done.
So it seems like the video we have to make for your request on how to apply from home is taking longer due to permission issues from the government website but until then I thought I can manually show you how to do it. Here is “how to apply” and “requirements for Ontario colleges” www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/apply/international-applicants Here are simple steps to apply to college programs from home by yourself: 1.) please visit this website: www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/ 2.) click apply now 3.) click “international students apply/login” 4.) select a college of your choice from the list that appears. 5.)and begin filling out application for a course of your choice Once you have filled an application the fees will be charged which is $110. Then you will be able to log in to your ontario college account to see the progress. Hope this helps you get started on how to apply from home. We are still waiting for a copyright permission to show government content on our website. Apologies for the delays. If you have any questions regarding the process, please message us on our Facebook or Instagram and we will guide you on how to apply.
There are ways the University you apply to can help you upgrade the course and help you complete the requirement. That university will offer you an online course itself.
hii sir..I completed bds with 70 percentage in india and im planning to pursue dental hygiene in canada.Can i get admission into the uni if not is it worth studying in colleges.
Hello doc. So there are two ways to approach dental hygiene in Canada. You can do the Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene as a degree at a University or an Advanced Diploma in Dental Hygiene at a College. Uni will be longer, more expensive and more competitive but will also have higher points for PR purpose. The colleges will be easier to get into, cheaper than uni and shorter in duration. Now, with your marks a GPA will be calculated by the institution you apply to or by WES or other credentials services that they ask for. That GPA will be used to get you an admission. Our percentages from back home do not really show true potential as 70 might be one of the highest marks in your batch (which it usually is in BDS) but according to the GPA it could be 3.0 . That is not true potential right? So that is something out of our control doc. But other than that you absolutely can apply to both routes.
Hi doctor. I have done my bds. I wanted to pursue dental hygienist program in Canada. For sending my documents to the college for evaluation is there any fee to be paid for application process ? And does we get any scholarship for this dental hygienist program? Ty in advance

Hello! Happy to hear about your offer letter! Health analytics is one course which is undermined since its not out spoken but its a very high responsibility and a quality profession. You getting that PGD is a very good thing doc. It is a job that pays as much as a Dental Hygienist as well and you will not have issues with PR either since it is a Category B and once you can dig into a manager position which is normal for a PGD Health Analyst, you will be Category 0 and that is golden. Here I have pasted a link for one job posting in Toronto for a Health Analyst. You can judge the quality and depth of your course from this.

@@aashakku2994 you’re most welcome doctor. You are right it is far from Dentistry. Although I often suggest that when you come to Canada on student’s visa, you come with 2 primary goals: 1.) PR and 2.) Dentistry to expand into. But in order of preference your PR should always be first. Health Analytics is a strong contender for PR. Plus while you will prepare for NDEB in the future during work permit, this job will secure you completely.

However here are the lists of all colleges that offer dental hygiene in Canada: www.cdha.ca/cdha/Education/Students/Dental_Hygiene_Schools___Programs/CDHA/Education/Students/Dental_Hygiene_Schools___Programs.aspx Scroll down to the names of the provinces and that should lead you to a list. They wi account for both your academic achievements 12th and BDS. If you have BDS it just helps you be recognised more among the admissions team
So the Oral Surgery being a speciality of Dentistry, one must complete the degree DDS and then apply for residency onwards. So after BDS, we would go for AFK exam and score high enough to apply for DDS advanced placement. Then after clearing the DDS course and achieving the degree in dentistry in Canada, we may then apply to OS residency and then study that for another 6 years. After BDS this entire process can take upto 10 years.

Hello doctor, thank you for your kind words towards us and our efforts. In your case, here are some courses that can help and all your doubts are answered with link below as well. Also dental hygiene is a good choice diploma or degree that does not matter for employment but if you wish to study further then bachelors degree is better but if your end goal is a job and PR then diploma is better and faster and cheaper.

If we speak of dentistry then after the NDEB provided license for general practitioners for dentistry, we cannot apply to a masters program however during the NDEB process if we choose to go through the Degree completion program which occurs after AFK exam then we will be given not just a GP license but a dental degree (DDS) which for sure allows us to apply to MDS.
Unfortunately direct practice is not possible however, the NDEB process is the most effective and shirted way to become a licensed dentist in Canada and in matter of other courses, they have be graduated with to be able to practice them.
The only way you can do DDS with NDEB process is once you take AFK exam, you must have a pretty high score about 85 and above and apply to universities for a DDS course. If you wish to get the degree DDS and not just the license then you do not need to go through the whole NDEB process. Just the AFK is fine.
Yes doctor, you would have to be qualified to get admission in to a DDS program which requires one of two things. A High AFK score in the NDEB process and second is getting a bachelors degree. Now once you get the entire license and still wish to do DDS, you can use your AFK score to apply but the AFK score cannot be more than 18 months old. So technically it is important to consider starting the NDEB process with the goal of going into DDS.
Hi Doctor, Thank you so much for sharing this detailed information. I am BDS and MHA graduate from India, got a doubt as I want to do Dental Hygiene course in Canada, I have 50.6% in 10th (English, Maths and Science) and 54.6% in 12th (English, Biology and Chemistry) I do not had Maths in 12th grade. Do I be still eligible to apply for Dental Hygienist? If so pls suggest a route. That would be really helpful.
Hello doctor, thank you for the details to help me understand the circumstances. Background: Dental hygiene is an extremely saturated market for international applicants. If you were to apply there will be a higher chance of deferral due to lack of seats as of 2023-2024 for this course particularly. Math Requirement: High school or university math is a requirement for the admission in hygiene advanced diploma at of the institutions and when one does not have math, the college makes you take a prequalified math course to yelp you fulfil that requirement. Recommendations: With your qualifications, if you are choosing to come to Canada on student visa then Hygiene may not be a successful choice as well. I would recommend considering the following: - Dental Assistant then transfer to Dental Hygiene - MHA or health office administration (diploma of health admin) And if RDH is your final goal then come to Canada on student visa with the courses mentioned above and once you are safe on route to PR or have PR, then consider RDH as a course and ultimately at The Tooth Factory, we always recommend to consider DDS through NDEB as well since you have it in your background and it is a promising career. I understand that this answer may not be what you would have anticipated to hear however, I did not want to misguide you so I displayed the current scenario in Canada pertaining to Dental hygiene very truthfully. Apologies for the inconvenience my answer has caused.
Also there are many courses like- healthcare administration and service management, Master in Health Administration. which one would be best in terms of salary and jobs. Just to mention I have done Master of Hospital Administration from India with 1.5 years of experience. I like working in this domain.
Yes doctor, the MHA route then would be ideal for you as it pays better than most other options and is very parallel with the pay scale of hygiene. Here are some options you can explore for your research: MASTERS OF HEALTH ADMINISTRATION: THE TOOTH FACTORY video: ruclips.net/video/MTS775m0CGs/видео.html Average Cost: $10,000-16,000 per semester, total is about $45,000-65,000 1.)

Hi firstly thanks a lot for your information.... I would like to ask if I have completed my bds and the opt for dental hygiene in Canada, till here it is alright But after completing dental hygiene, can I give NDEB for my license of dentistry??
Hello thank you for the appreciation doctor. And you can give the NDEB at anytime in your life with any qualifications under your wing. Nothing to worry.
Hello, so the procedure is that when the college reviews your documents and they realise that they need a math course from you. They will offer you an upgrading program. This is generally an online course worth about a month’s time and once you finish that online course (like math for example), the college will accept your application. Many people get what is called a conditional offer letter of admission. This means, they will offer you this maths upgrade course and also offer you admission at the same time but with the condition that you succeed at that upgrade course.
@@TheToothFactory sir can u pls explain that whic one is better for me dental assistant or dental hygienist....????pls could u explain about other requirements and which collage would be best for me??????
So doctor in my opinion Dental Hygiene is always the best option as it is closest to dentistry and it is a strong career to fall back on as well. Making sure though that dentistry is your primary target along the way.
You are doing a great job. Crisp and clear answers. I have watched many channels regarding the same but your answers were to the point. Thanks a lot and god bless!
It is so nice to hear that we could be of help to our fellow dentists around the globe. Thank you so very much for your kind words and it helps us stay motivated to further make this journey easier.
Hello doctor. You are doing an amazing job. Im BDS with 3 yrs of experience. I want to get into Dental Hygiene program but I saw the Requirement for Dental Hygiene colleges is about 60% to 70%, which I have in few subjects but not in others. Will my 12th marks being below the Requirement in Biology and Maths be a problem when I'm a 3 yr practicing Dentist already?
Hello doctor! Thank you for your gentle appreciation. And with your BDS and the experience you have there is no reason why a college would reject your admission application. High school marks are considered although your BDS overpowers it all. Do not worry, go for it and we shall see you in Canada shortly!
Sir I'm a dentist and completed my masters in forensic odontology from national Forensic Sciences University Gujarat. I'm planning to go to canada...sir guide me will it be better if i get into health care management programme one year in Conestoga College will that be useful or should I go to dental assistant by NDAEB exam ....which is better for work permit and PR sir
So doctor in recent times the colleges may offer you admissions but the visas offices tend to reject visas for applicants who choose courses that are below the applicant’s prior academic milestone. So with your masters in hand, it would be difficult for you to get a visa approval for a one year health management program. The problem is not the college. They will offer you the admission but its the visa offices.
Now taking into account NDAEB, yes it is a good route for getting a job as an assistant but it is not much helpful with respect to PR. My recommendation is to seek express entry direct PR to Canada. You have a masters and other factors are IELTS, age, marital status, monetary support and more. So consider that as well doctor. Hope this helps.
Can BDS graduates apply for denturist programs, or are these programs exclusively for recent A-level or Intermediate graduates? I've heard that BDS graduates may face visa challenges when applying for courses like denturist programs, given that they are considered college diplomas.
You have hear correct doctor. Yes, you can apply and also get admission into denturist or dental hygiene as an international student, however, recently it has been observed that visa rejections have spiked for BDS grads coming to Canada for a course lower than what they already earned. So a degree earned as strong as BDS is observed to be rejected for a diploma that is technically a step down from a degree. However, we must also mention the other side of the coin. There are exceptional acceptances for courses in health management and administrations and they are diplomas as well. So we must be very careful when choosing a course. Denturist may not be the best option as of 2023 doctor.
Great Video there Doctor, its Crisp yet informative.👌💕
One quick question though, what all documents will be required for the NDEB Equivalency?!
Hello doctor thank you so very much for your amazing generosity. We really value your appreciation.
So I have pasted a link below of a PDF document that takes you stepwise on how to apply for equivalency and there is also a section it that shows what documents are required from us as applicants and what documents are required to be sent by our university back home directly to NDEB office.

Hello doctor
I have just completed my bds in Jan 2022 and now I’m planning to do some course in Canada.. looking at all the benefits of PR, I’ve opted for this country
Many of my friends and seniors they are doing PGD in public health, health administrative and health informatics
I don’t know about the job opportunities but since many of the people are applying to these course, do you think the time I will complete my course it might get saturated.
Also these are all 1yr course and to get 3yrs work permit you need to do a 2nd yr course too.. so what you’ll suggest?
Plus is dental hygienist better than these courses in terms of salary and PR?
Hello doctor firstly congratulations on becoming a dentist! Truly a magnificent achievement doc!
Now you concepts about the academic years and work permit is completely correct. And yes recently a lot of dentists have chosen the courses that you have mentioned. However, at The Tooth Factory I recommend a certain fleet of courses that serve two functions for us:
1.) keep a strong contender for PR which means the work permit is longer and the points are higher for these courses
2.) it acts as a promising back up career until our journey as dentists in Canada is finished. The NDEB journey can take long at times and until then we must have a strong career in the back that allows us to consistently afford out lives and also afford our education and raise a family.
Therefore, the courses I recommend are as follows:
MASTERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH:
THE TOOTH FACTORY Video: ruclips.net/video/tTYXcnDll6w/видео.html
Average Cost: $15,000 per semester, total is about $50,000-$60,000

Conestoga - 2 years

I do want to mention that dental hygiene used to be one of the most popular and chosen courses but due to increasing applicants and competitive nature of the program, the admission rate has dropped significantly. Therefore, I would consider the other options first.
Hope this helps.
Hi sir I'm currently in bds final year and planning to move canada for further studies, but as i saw the expenses, I'm confused to choose any course, please tell me, can i afford my expenses with part time job? And would it affect my studies too? And what should i do to get a longer work permit?
Hello doctor, I understand your situation. In terms of coming to Canada with the purpose of attaining PR and then DDS through NDEB, our first goal is to choose a course that is most feasible to us. Keeping in mind duration, expenses and difficulty as well as getting a 3 year work permit post graduation, I believe in 2023-2024, this is our best choice:
HEALTH CARE/OFFICE ADMINISTRATION DIPLOMA:
Average cost: $ 30,000 entirely for full course
Conestoga - 2 years
3 Campuses: Guelph, Doon and Kitchner
Link: www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/health-office-administration
Part time job is able to help you afford your semester fees and living expenditure for sure however,we may have live extremely calculatingly. It would not affect your studies as long as the discipline of staying in track with assignments and exam prep is maintained. It is definitely a difficult journey full of academic, emotional and financial turmoil. But the grass is definitely greener on the other side doctor.
Hope this information helps!
For dentists in express entry profile for PR application....which education credential assessment to be done ....WES or MCC or any other
I believe it is WES
Thank You Sir❤💕💕👍🏻
Pleasure is ours doctor ☺️🙏🏻
Hi sir..i am bds graduate..can i apply directly for dental assistant job in canada...or should i need to clear any exams or need to do assistant course there
That is a good question. So the answer is subjective due to the provinces of residence. For example, it is nearly impossible to find a DA job in Alberta without a RDA license from within Canada itself. However, in Ontario there is a higher probability of finding the dame job without a RDA. For example, when i was in Ontario, I used to work as a dental assistant there without having a dental assistant license. Then when we moved to Alberta, I was unable to find a job soI had to get through the exams of NDAEB and go the RDA license and began a dental assisting job in Alberta.
Does dentists comes under professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession or just Bachelor degree program category in PR process
I am a little less knowledgeable in PR applications doctor but it is a bachelor degree that we get back home. So my assumption would be bachelors. However, please do seek professional aid for it.
Let's say that did dental hygiene Program. I became certified as well. Now tell me will a clinic hire me considering I am a male international candidate.
Hello, I am glad you asked this question because there is a significant misconception around the subject of job prospects of a male hygienist. However, Canada is one place that does not work on gender discrimination and fortunately when we apply for a job as a Dental Hygienist, the job application does not ask whether we are a male or female. There are two areas that an employer will determine our eligibility on:
1.) Dental Hygiene Academics (certification and attempts of qualification taken)
2.) Inter-Personal skills as a health care professional.
I personally know a few male hygienists myself and they are very happy to be working for dentists and clinic owners who are females as well.
So yes, the clinics will hire you if you are a male international candidate as well.
Hi sir I'm doing my final year bds rn. And I want to get into dental hygiene program but as I saw the requirements I didn't take maths in my 11 12th will that be an issue ?
No it should not be an issue as there are sole colleges that do not require grade 12 math such as Confederation College in Thunder Bay.
I M A DENTIST FROM INDIA,, took 3.5 hrs more than usual to finish dentistry with 65% average, I m currently pursuing health care administration from Conestoga college, but I aspire to apply for mph or mha as well , as recommended by you lakehead nd Ottawa universities have good acceptance rates but as I visited the lakerhead university site,, for mha and mph,, they have highlighted that the courses aren’t fit for dentists/ medical docs,, can I get any information as to if the university is still accepting applicants,, also my last query is if I try to register with Ndeb, would I be successfully registered nd eligible to appear form exams given my academic records
So University like Lakehead or Ottawa tend to steer international dentists away from Mph and MHA when we inquire because they do not want us to use MPH or MHA as a degree to jump to dentistry with. They want us to stay in that field permanently so the community can get more MHA MPH graduates. But you can still apply for those programs and successfully complete them.
As far as your academic record is concerned, I do not think it would hinder your NDEB application. What is important is that you are a dentist and applying to NDEB. So yes go for it doctor and take on NDEB process.
Hey am a foreign dentist and thinking of master of dental public health would you recommend it and is there a demand for public health dentist,,?
Hello doctor, getting into the masters in public health is a very good field however, I am not sure how you would pursue MPH in dentistry. To study anything in dentistry, especially masters, we need a DDS from an accredited institution.
Hello doc. I have done MDS in Pediatric Dentistry in India and got good percentage. But my BDS grades were not good and not sure whether it will make CGP of 3. So for NDEB, what they will consider, BDS or MDS marks?
Hey doc! Glad to hear about you MDS. The NDEB does not look at GPA. The NDEB looks for equivalency which means, since you have MDS and got good marks, that is where their evaluation ends as they know you are equivalent to a DDS in Canada and are able to directly challenge the boards. Your MDS should be fine. Now if you ever were to try to get into a college for any program that is when GPA are checked but eventhen you are one step ahead. Your MDS is your shield doc. You got nothing to worry.
Can't thank you enough for this🙏. You have lessen down so much of pressure from my mind. Thanx a tons❤
Absolutely my pleasure doc! 🤩
@@TheToothFactory for
Hello, are dentists eligible to take dental hygiene license exams to qualify as a dental hygienist
Unfortunately, dentists cannot apply for hygiene, only international hygienists can do so.
Thank u for.the information
You’re very welcome!
I m also considering university of Windsor medical biotechnology program , would you recommend going for it
It is a great program and a really strong career choice for a back up career. If anything it is as good as dentistry in terms of jobs and earnings.
Hi, I just stumbled upon your channel. I'm a practicing periodontist in India. Do I need to go through all the stages of the NDEB as an undergraduate or only a few steps if I want to complete the equivalency process?
Hello doctor, so for becoming a dentist in Canada, there is a route for BDS to DDS or MDS to MDS.
In your case with your Periodontist Degree as MDS, you are qualified to take the DSCKE exam which is a specialty exam for MDS to MDS.
You are also eligible to take the AFK-ACJ-NDECC exams which are for BDS to DDS(general dentistry license)
Both these route are parts of NDEB equivalency process pertaining to different goals.
Hope this helps doc!
That’s highly informative, may I know if one clears the qualifying exam for masters; can they also work as general dentists or only as the specialists, thanks
Hello doc ,are you sure IELTS score is required for an international student to join a hygienist course in Canada even if he/she is a PR?
Hello, yes so how this concept works is, one way or the other english pre-requisite must be fulfilled. So if you apply to a college for a diploma or a bachelor’s degree then they will ask for proof of english in one of two ways:
1.) high school completed in English recognised by Canada or
2.) pro-efficiency exam like IELTS in case high school was not completed in Canada
Similarly if you apply to MHA or MPH which are master’s degrees then we need to provide the previous education (which would be a bachelor’s) done in english recognised by Canada or a pro efficiency exam like IELTS.
Now international students who have not completed high school or a bachelor’s in Canada will have to provide english exam IELTS regardless of the residency status.
Hope this helps in clarifying the concept behind IELTS
You are doing a great job, man….
Just one question.
Wouldn’t getting student visa for Dental Hygiene course be an issue considering one has already done Bachelor’s degree (BDS) in the home country.
How do you make a strong case for yourself in that scenerio.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thank you doc, so I always try to clarify this confusion with our viewers that your bachelor's will not make your student visa be rejected. You definitely are over-qualified but that does not mean they will not give you admission or not a student visa. They want you to take the courses and come abroad to study, it is how their economy grows essentially. There is no reason I see in which your visa could be rejected considering all other requirements are also met like the IELTS scores and more.
@@TheToothFactory sir, but there is high chance of visa rejection when we apply for dental hygiene course after bds since they tend to doubt y we r choosing a degree lesser than our current degree , is it for settling there n all n get rejected easily, so most agencies r not supporting it n they r telling us to choose health pgms, is it true?
So yes I have been getting feedback from international agencies and their clients that dental hygiene is not being prioritised by the agents. This however is not due to over-qualification. The reason why I know this because I know several BDS grads in the past who have done hygiene in Canada. The reason is now a days health programs are inviting students with less restrictions and therefore the agencies are having an easier admissions rate. So they are promoting health courses. I too used to be in hygiene at one point. See our goal ultimately is to achieve PR and be eligible to achieve DDS in Canada. In that case, take the entry with one of your top 3 priorities and if that entails health courses then might as well include them in your list. I hope this helps Ashly. 😊
@@TheToothFactory thanku sir, sir for taking a hygeine pgm then is there so mny restriction, like high ilets score or any cpd pgms do we need to complete?
So for hygiene there is a strong IELTS score needed for sure which is minimum of 6.5 but I always recommend our applicants aim a 7. No other courses will be needed other than your BDS and IELTS.
Hello sir. As you explained that the dental hygiene program requires the high school certificate for admission, so if we want to take up the program after bds what are the chances of rejection of our sop as we are taking up an undergraduate course?
Hello doc! So minimum require are high school but you can still apply using a BDS. There are several BDS grads who did hygiene in Canada. I believe they may have competition but not rejection due to BDS.
@@TheToothFactory Actually here in India the consultants are telling otherwise now. They are stressing more on healthcare administration courses which I personally don't want to persue.
The reason why they are saying that is because hygiene is highly competitive now and health care is accepting new students at a higher rate than ever before. There are more chances for you to get into health care as of 2022. Hygiene is saturating slowly doc.
How can I acquire PR before applying to university route if I don't have any connections there?
Generally on student visa process people go through the course then graduate and then go on work permit. People then study on work permit and then take the AFK. Later when they get to apply for PR when work permit ends, they apply to university with their AFK score. This lines up the timeframe
@@TheToothFactory what course do they study with student visa?
You can choose from a range although the most popular are dental hygiene, MPH and MHA.

Sir after bds in India I want to do Masters in maxillofacial surgery so how many exams I want to give for it please name it.
Sorry, I may need a little more information to answer.
Are you looking to do MDS in Canada or in India?
@@TheToothFactory in canada
So in order to do MDS in Canada, we must be graduated from a Canadian Board Accredited University with the DDS degree. With our internationally achieved dental credentials, MDS directly in Canada is not routed.
Hello. I didn't have maths in my 12th. But, I am an MDS. Can i consider opting for dental hygienist after getting my PR? The thing is i don't want to get into the lengthy procedure of clearing exams.
I understand your circumstances and concerns doctor and Dental Hygiene is an amazing profession as well and well earned as well. After PR it is better to choose due to the admissions and fees being eased after PR.
If you wish doctor, we can talk over our free zoom meetings to discuss your concerns about dentistry in Canada. Sometimes discussions can help bring clarity to making a decision as NDEB may be lengthy and painful, it may just be the same length in time for you to achieve NDEB license as it would be for you to go through MPH MHA or DH.
@@TheToothFactory so will i regret not opting the NDEB path as it will take the same amount of time as the other options? That is what u mean to say?
What I mean to say is it is worth giving NDEB a chance considering your extensive background in dentistry with a MDS on your wings as well as the experience in dentistry that you hold. See establishing a backup career is definitely a good idea especially when you immigrate to a new country however, when you do become a hygienist or get a job with your MHA or MPH, you may miss Dentistry and feel like, I could have at least attempted dentistry. So to avoid this feeling of loss, NDEB can be given a chance. However, doctor it is completely a person preference as everyone have their own circumstances and reasons. I completely understand that perspectives. I only elaborate so much to be able to protect the dentistry in your profile and of course if there is even 1% chance that I can contribute to having you become a dentist in Canada then I will try my best because the grass is definitely greener on the other side, it is just that the grass rakes a lot of water, sunlight, fertiliser and time.
But yes if you wish to discuss we can arrange for a zoom meeting with you doctor.
@@TheToothFactory thanku so much for the insight. I will definitely get back to u.
Hey, how much is the fee for dental hygiene in Toronto college of dental hygiene for international students?
Hello, it is around 55,000-60,000 dollars
Hello sir
Without dds can we practise in canada as a dentist or dds is must
Do DDS degree is one of the two routes. The second route is direct licensing process which are a total of 4 exams that gives you a dental license.
Hello doctor
After my completing diploma in dental hygienist in india, can I practice in canada as hygienist?
Hello Pankaj, unfortunately the Dental Hygiene board in Canada requires us to study the whole diploma course again which is of 2-3 years in duration depending on where you apply. Only then we are able to practice further.
Loved your content regarding dentistry in Canada. I m BDS dentist from India with three backlogs. Is there any consequences in approval of documents for NDEB?
Hello doctor! No there should not be. The NDEB evaluates the completion of your BDS. Once approved you’re set to head towards the exams. I recommend applying for the evaluations with NDEB as soon as you can even though you may not plan to take the exams right now. Good luck Doctor! Btw my name is Rishi too 😃 close enough haha! Thank you for your appreciation as well.
@@TheToothFactory Thank you very much. It helps a lot. Glad to hear resemblance of names😄Yup I surely apply in NDEB as soon as I get PR status. Right now I finished healthcare administration and service management and started working full time. Anyways waiting for upcoming video and look forward to contact you in future. Great work again, thank you.
@@rushipatel4454 hey doc, you do not have to wait until you get a PR to apply for NDEB equivalency. That process can take upto 8 months. I would get it started brother.
@@TheToothFactory Thanks doctor, will start the process soon.
@@rushipatel4454 good luck doc! Let us know if we can help.
Please explain about dscke route for dental specialist
For sure it is a simple three step method:
1.) the NDSKE exam that allows you to go to step 2
2.) the dental speciality assessment and training program
3.) once you clear 2 you can take the national speciality board exam
4.) you can apply for your licensure.
Here is the official link with a simple description of the steps.

Hellow brother. I am bds graduate from Nepal and got nearly 3 year experience ,, can I apply directly for pr with express entry getting high IELTS score from my home country without Canadian dental registration or we need to give ndeb exam ?? Then only we can apply for pr ??
Hello Doc! You can definitely apply for direct PR. Your education experience, age and IELTS Scores determine your points and it should be good doc.
You can come over with your PR and then go through the exam process.
Hello, thank you for that amazing video, I had infact messaged you via Instagram and Facebook, but in vain, this video is a reply to my message though,
I would like to ask though, can a foreign trained dentist directly apply for DENTAL HYGIENIST licensing exams without doing the course?...Is it mandatory to do the course?...please clarify
Waiting for part 2...good luck
Hello, we apologise for the delays as we recently have taken charge to uplift the channel again into function. Also dental hygiene in Canada must be achieved through the course. There is no direct exam route for Dental Hygiene in Canada. In the US there is a direct route.
The second part is on the most appropriate choices of non dental options for people who want to drift away from Dentistry after coming to Canada. It should be uploaded in the next 12 hours.

@@TheToothFactory thanks a ton for the reply, can we get a student visa for dental hygienist course? Is age a barrier for admission to this particular program?
@@haimden absolutely you can apply for dental hygiene using student visa and the only age barrier is the successful and competitive finishing of your high school back home.
Hey doctor...i had one supply... Which I cleared the nxt yr... Will this be a problem... In Canada... For appearing in exams
No no that should not be a problem as long as several other factors are balanced such as IELTS and your marks in your prior education and your CV.
Thanks doc . This was really helpful .i had a doubt- what if I didn’t have mathematics as a subject in my 12th . What can i do now ??
Also waiting for part 2 💟
Our pleasure :) like mentioned if when you apply, there is something missing it does not mean you are never allowed to get the admission. The college you apply to will ask for you to complete the missing upgrades and in your case it is maths. Trust me doc, some people who have had maths in there grade 12 have also been asked to repeat it. Once you complete the upgrade you are all set.
I would begin by just applying to the course and see what they want in upgrades, it is very simple.

Hey that’s amazing! Yes it is the exact same brother. You can be a registered dental hygienist just like any other applicant.
Hey doctor
What is the minimum % of marks in bds required to be an eligible candidate to give exam for license to practice as a dentist.
Thanks in advance
Hello! So for the NDEB licensing it goes by your degree. To be eligible to take the licensing exam, they will not look at your percentages. They will look at your degree, and internship completion certificate. And the fact that you are a dentist.
If i am applying for dental hygienist program after getting permanent residence do i need to have ielts.
Yes ielts is a proof of english studies so its either the ielts score or a canadian highschool diploma graduation which for sure contained english as a course.
Sir , I’m a D3 student here in India, I am willing to take the University route to complete DDS and hoping to settle there , rather than completing the Exams ACJ and ACS . But to go through University ,PR is necessary , so doing a degree like MPH or MHA and then work there avail PR and then go through NBED process , is this possible or did I miss anything and. would this be helpful ?
Please help me in this
You are on he perfect route there doc. The only thing I would recommend that can save you about a year is for you to apply for NDEB equivalency during your study of MPH MHA and take your first NDEB exam which is the AFK during your workpermit time period. That way the moment you are a PR, you can submit an admission application to DDS. So basically do not wait until you are a PR to take the NDEB exam. Other than that you are well off doc!
@@TheToothFactory Thank you so much sir , that helps a lot
Doc in case, if spouse is having PR then?
@@jonathannavara7341 Hey bro even I want to follow ur method but I don't want to do DDS, after doing Mph and while job getting PR there can we write NDEB exam and become dentist there?
@THE TOOTH FACTORY Hello doctor can you please tell me the benefits of licensed dentist or DDS degree dentist which is better option for us.
Hey doc, so the licensed dentist can only practice dentistry and own a clinic. This prevents us from studying MDS or teaching at a university if that is what you goal is. But on the other hand it is cheaper to go through the licensing process by a huge amount of money. It also saves time since three exam can take up to 2 years to clear only. A degree route opens more doors like teaching, or MDS with practicing as well. Although it is more expensive than license about 4 times as much cost. With degree we need a PR and it is a must while licensing does not need a PR from us. The degree it self is 2-3 years long let alone the AFK time. So it is a little longer.
Now the biggest factor is the quality of development or skills in dentistry. Dentistry is far different and even though the licensing procedure can get us a way to begin practicing, it will not teach us the standards and Canadian norms. So this is my personal opinion that to become a dentist, licensing is perfect but to become a successful and reputed dentist, i believe degree route is more advantageous. Hope this helps doc.
@@TheToothFactory thank you very much doctor for this precious knowledge .
Anytime doc!
If I come to canada as a pr here in canada itself may I apply from canada only for degree equivalency
Oh absolutely doctor. You can apply for Ndeb equivalency with any form of arrival as long ad your degree is complete and the only thing you need a PR for in this process is if you wish to study at. University to get a DDS degree.
Do we need to have a PR to apply for the dental hygiene program? Or we can apply directly from India?
Hello, you can apply from India itself. For example, in Ontario, if we wish to apply to a college, we generally do it from Ontario Colleges Portal. We shall make a video on it to show how it is done.

hii sir..I completed bds with 70 percentage in india and im planning to pursue dental hygiene in canada.Can i get admission into the uni if not is it worth studying in colleges.
Hello doc. So there are two ways to approach dental hygiene in Canada. You can do the Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene as a degree at a University or an Advanced Diploma in Dental Hygiene at a College. Uni will be longer, more expensive and more competitive but will also have higher points for PR purpose. The colleges will be easier to get into, cheaper than uni and shorter in duration. Now, with your marks a GPA will be calculated by the institution you apply to or by WES or other credentials services that they ask for. That GPA will be used to get you an admission. Our percentages from back home do not really show true potential as 70 might be one of the highest marks in your batch (which it usually is in BDS) but according to the GPA it could be 3.0 . That is not true potential right? So that is something out of our control doc. But other than that you absolutely can apply to both routes.

i have done my bds in india.. now i have got offer letter from a college in pgd program for health analytics .. how the course is ... could you pls suggest me
Hello! Happy to hear about your offer letter! Health analytics is one course which is undermined since its not out spoken but its a very high responsibility and a quality profession. You getting that PGD is a very good thing doc. It is a job that pays as much as a Dental Hygienist as well and you will not have issues with PR either since it is a Category B and once you can dig into a manager position which is normal for a PGD Health Analyst, you will be Category 0 and that is golden.

@@aashakku2994 you’re most welcome doctor. You are right it is far from Dentistry. Although I often suggest that when you come to Canada on student’s visa, you come with 2 primary goals: 1.) PR and 2.) Dentistry to expand into.

Hello, at this point in 2022 I am pushing towards MPH more since there has been an increase in admissions in it recently and not as much activity in dental hygiene.

How to be a oral and maxillofacial Surgeon in canada after BDS in india ?
So the Oral Surgery being a speciality of Dentistry, one must complete the degree DDS and then apply for residency onwards. So after BDS, we would go for AFK exam and score high enough to apply for DDS advanced placement. Then after clearing the DDS course and achieving the degree in dentistry in Canada, we may then apply to OS residency and then study that for another 6 years. After BDS this entire process can take upto 10 years.

can i do masters after getting the license?
If we speak of dentistry then after the NDEB provided license for general practitioners for dentistry, we cannot apply to a masters program however during the NDEB process if we choose to go through the Degree completion program which occurs after AFK exam then we will be given not just a GP license but a dental degree (DDS) which for sure allows us to apply to MDS.
Is there any option to practise in canada directly
Unfortunately direct practice is not possible however, the NDEB process is the most effective and shirted way to become a licensed dentist in Canada and in matter of other courses, they have be graduated with to be able to practice them.
Sir can we do DDS after getting license in Canada sir.By NDEB equivalence process
The only way you can do DDS with NDEB process is once you take AFK exam, you must have a pretty high score about 85 and above and apply to universities for a DDS course. If you wish to get the degree DDS and not just the license then you do not need to go through the whole NDEB process. Just the AFK is fine.
@@TheToothFactory sir for me the doubt is after getting equivalence can we do DDS
Yes doctor, you would have to be qualified to get admission in to a DDS program which requires one of two things. A High AFK score in the NDEB process and second is getting a bachelors degree. Now once you get the entire license and still wish to do DDS, you can use your AFK score to apply but the AFK score cannot be more than 18 months old. So technically it is important to consider starting the NDEB process with the goal of going into DDS.
Hi Doctor, Thank you so much for sharing this detailed information. I am BDS and MHA graduate from India, got a doubt as I want to do Dental Hygiene course in Canada, I have 50.6% in 10th (English, Maths and Science) and 54.6% in 12th (English, Biology and Chemistry) I do not had Maths in 12th grade. Do I be still eligible to apply for Dental Hygienist? If so pls suggest a route. That would be really helpful.
Hello doctor, thank you for the details to help me understand the circumstances.
Background:
Dental hygiene is an extremely saturated market for international applicants. If you were to apply there will be a higher chance of deferral due to lack of seats as of 2023-2024 for this course particularly.
Math Requirement:
High school or university math is a requirement for the admission in hygiene advanced diploma at of the institutions and when one does not have math, the college makes you take a prequalified math course to yelp you fulfil that requirement.
Recommendations:
With your qualifications, if you are choosing to come to Canada on student visa then Hygiene may not be a successful choice as well. I would recommend considering the following:
- Dental Assistant then transfer to Dental Hygiene
- MHA or health office administration (diploma of health admin)
And if RDH is your final goal then come to Canada on student visa with the courses mentioned above and once you are safe on route to PR or have PR, then consider RDH as a course and ultimately at The Tooth Factory, we always recommend to consider DDS through NDEB as well since you have it in your background and it is a promising career.
I understand that this answer may not be what you would have anticipated to hear however, I did not want to misguide you so I displayed the current scenario in Canada pertaining to Dental hygiene very truthfully. Apologies for the inconvenience my answer has caused.
Also there are many courses like- healthcare administration and service management, Master in Health Administration. which one would be best in terms of salary and jobs. Just to mention I have done Master of Hospital Administration from India with 1.5 years of experience. I like working in this domain.
Yes doctor, the MHA route then would be ideal for you as it pays better than most other options and is very parallel with the pay scale of hygiene. Here are some options you can explore for your research:

But after completing dental hygiene, can I give NDEB for my license of dentistry??
Hello thank you for the appreciation doctor. And you can give the NDEB at anytime in your life with any qualifications under your wing. Nothing to worry.
Hi sir I am 40 year old General dentist can I still apply for dental hygiene course in canada
You can apply doctor, however I highly recommend attempting dentistry considering you experience. It saves you from studying a diploma.
Is the job opportunities are in demand after completing mph in canada
Absolutely high in demand and multiple research based or government public health unit jobs are available in Canada.
How we can give Marth exam now?
Hello, so the procedure is that when the college reviews your documents and they realise that they need a math course from you. They will offer you an upgrading program. This is generally an online course worth about a month’s time and once you finish that online course (like math for example), the college will accept your application. Many people get what is called a conditional offer letter of admission. This means, they will offer you this maths upgrade course and also offer you admission at the same time but with the condition that you succeed at that upgrade course.
