Can a Foreign Unregistered Dentist work as an Oral Hygienist/Dental Assistant?

[jfbouwer]

Hi,

I am currently relocating from South Africa to Canada under a FSW visa as a foreign dentist who still needs to complete the NDEB exams. Am I allowed during the time of registering as a dentist work as an oral hygienist/dental assistant/practice manager in order to at least make a living whilst completing the exams which can take between 12-24 months?

Any info/advice would be appreciated

hello! according to my friend who landed in Canada for a working visa, the easiest way is to work as a dental assistant. You just need to pass the written exam for dental assistant which is a 200-item test and a practical exam. She told me it was easy. You need first to pass all documents needed and have ur credentials assessed then submit and schedule ur exam.. You'll be done in 2-3 months i think. Then when u pass, u can easily look for a job and get a salary of 15-18 dollars per hour. visit ndaeb.com for info. hope this will help

Well, dental assistance and dental hygeine are the female profession. Being a guy, you won't be hired for this position.
