Program details

Overview

Techniques d'hygiène dentaire (111.B0) est un DEC technique de trois ans, offert sur six sessions au campus Gabrielle-Roy, qui prépare à une profession reconnue par l'Ordre des hygiénistes dentaires du Québec. La personne diplômée est appelée à recueillir des renseignements sur l'état de santé buccodentaire des patientes et patients, à dépister les maladies bucco-dentaires, à prendre des radiographies dentaires, à effectuer le détartrage et le polissage des dents et à réaliser des traitements préventifs et curatifs, en plus de promouvoir de bonnes habitudes d'hygiène buccale auprès de la population. La formation aborde le fonctionnement du corps humain et de la structure de la tête et du cou, les principales maladies dentaires ainsi que les bases de l'orthodontie et de la prosthodontie. Plus de la moitié de la formation spécifique se déroule en laboratoire et en stage, où les étudiantes et étudiants utilisent des équipements spécialisés dans des situations proches de la pratique réelle en prévention, en radiologie, en interventions parodontales et en dentisterie opératoire. Le programme convient aux personnes responsables, empathiques, ouvertes d'esprit et à l'aise dans le travail d'équipe.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Particular admission conditions (Cégep de l'Outaouais' own program page): Science et technologie de l'environnement (STE) or Science et environnement (SE), 4e secondaire, or their equivalent. Other conditions: proof of vaccination; certification in CPR, anaphylaxis management and AED use must be obtained before the 4th session; a criminal record check is required for community-based practicum placements. Capacity: 39 places in the first year. Program length: 6 sessions (3 years). For international applicants, admission runs through SRAM: candidates applying from outside Canada are considered for the Fall session only (application deadline 14 March) and need an average of at least 3.7 on the Bright French test, while those already in Canada on temporary status apply as regular candidates (recommended deadlines 1 March for Fall entry and 1 November for Winter entry) and need at least 3.5. The French test is mandatory in every DEC program at Cégep de l'Outaouais, even for candidates already schooled in French. Domestic applicants must hold a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES), or a Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) with the required secondary courses, or training the college judges equivalent, and apply through admission.sram.qc.ca.

Application Details

Start Date: Fall
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) at admission.sram.qc.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the equal-consideration date is 1 March 2027, with later rounds around late April and late May while seats remain; Winter 2027 entry opened 15 September 2026, with an equal-consideration date of 1 November 2026 and a second round on 25 November 2026. Cégep de l'Outaouais accepts international applicants for the Fall intake only: the college's FAQ fixes the international deadline at 14 March of the admission year, i.e. 14 March 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, and it publishes no winter international deadline. Admission is rolling round to round within SRAM's system until each round's seats are filled, but the international date is firm. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
