Celebrating 10 years of Success on June 5th 2011

In 2001, Margit Juhasz R.D.H. was about to start realizing a dream that no one could tell how far and successful it may become. Ten years ago the thought of being an Independent Dental Hygienist was simply out of the question. Nobody imagined that was exactly the kind of challenge Margit needed in order to make her a true "Pioneer" in the profession of Dental Hygiene. Today the dream became an incredible reality, her qualifications, courage and enthusiasm combined with hard work, discipline and dedication were the ingredients needed to establish a successful practice owning and running an Independent Dental Hygiene Clinic. The practice was created to provide the public with a highly qualified alternative for anyone in need of affordable professional teeth cleaning, oral cancer screening, periodontal (gum) disease prevention, and home care guidance in order to maintain optimum oral health.

Many were the obstacles at the beginning, however perseverance, passion, intelligent thinking, the ability to find answers and making the right decisions along the way, paved a smooth path over the past ten years had become a safe and secure road for happy clients that continue to trust Margit Juhasz R.D.H. to keep them with beautiful, bright, sparkling and healthy teeth and gums. Vast knowledge, experience and professionalism along with her great personality and charm had become the ideal choice when it comes to oral health care for the public.

It is also important to mention that Margit Juhasz R.D.H. is a true determined "Pioneer" who had benefited the profession of Dental Hygiene serving in different scenarios of the field; she was President for the local society, Board Member for the provincial association, publisher and speaker for several seminars.

The city of Mississauga is where Margit founded one of the first few Independent Dental Hygiene Practices in Canada in 2001. After ten years the clinic continues to operate with great success proudly providing professional preventive oral care to the community.

CDHA congratulates Ontario Dental Hygienists
Private practice is now a reality!

The Canadian Dental Hygienists Association congratulates Ontario Dental Hygienists on long awaited legislation that will take effect on September 1, 2007. The Ontario Government is modernizing Dental Hygiene legislation to allow dental hygienists to practise their own with out a dentist. This will improve access to care, as it will allow dental hygienists to use alternative service delivery models. They will be able to provide services to the public in long-term care facilities, private clinics, community health centres, rural and remote areas. Since dental hygienists have portable instruments, they can provide services to under served areas using mobile clinics. The only situation where a dental hygienist will be required to work with a dentist is when the patient presents with specific medical conditions. The College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario is in place to regulate dental hygienists and ensure that the public receives quality, safe dental hygiene services.

There is a growing trend for provinces to update their dental hygiene legislation and Ontario joins both Alberta and British Columbia in having done so. In these provinces, the public can receive oral health services from the most appropriate oral health care professional, when they need it, and where they need it. Executive Director, Susan Ziebarth reports, "We anticipate that Nova Scotia will be the next province to modernize their legislation." Dental hygienists are showing a growing interest in establishing their own businesses. CDHA has been overwhelmed with registration at our first ever Independent Practice Workshop. Dental hygienists from across Canada will meet in Calgary on September 15, 2007 to learn about best practices.
