We commit ourselves to our students and their futures
Striving to obtain each individual's maximum growth potential.The Toronto College of Dental Hygiene and Auxiliaries Inc. provides a learning centred environment that enables individuals to develop personal and professional success through high standards of current comprehensive dental education. These standards provide essential knowledge and skills that reflect current practices and promote ongoing education and research.
Our philosophy
The Toronto College of Dental Hygiene and Auxiliaries Inc. believes that students, clients, staff,
faculty, and the community in which we live and work need to be treated with respect, and
that we all need to work collaboratively to achieve high standards of dental education.
Students should recognize that clients are individuals with unique and diverse social,
physical, economic, and cultural needs. They also have various demands, motivations, resources,
and definitions of wellness. Students therefore must develop competence in providing professional,
client-focused care to a diverse population in various practice environments.
