The mission of the College of Dental Hygienists of British Columbia (CDHBC) is to protect the public by developing, advocating, and regulating safe and ethical dental hygiene practice in British Columbia. CDHBC is responsible for establishing, monitoring, and enforcing standards that assure safe, ethical, and competent dental hygiene care. This includes registration of all dental hygienists in British Columbia, setting standards of practice for dental hygienists, and investigating complaints against dental hygienists.

Dental hygienists in B.C. must practice in a safe and ethical manner, in accordance with the HPA, the Dental Hygienists Regulation, and CDHBC bylaws. The Dental Hygiene Scope of Practice statement reads, “Subject to the bylaws, a registrant may assess the status of teeth and adjacent tissues, and provide preventive and therapeutic dental hygiene care for teeth and adjacent tissues.”
