Program details
Overview
Techniques d'hygiène dentaire (111.B0) is a technical Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) offered at Cégep de Trois-Rivières that trains students for the profession of dental hygienist. According to the program page, graduates learn to screen for oral diseases and perform procedures such as polishing, sealant application, and scaling, while working alongside dentists on preventive and treatment measures. The role also includes promoting oral health within the broader community. Coursework covers biology, including the structures and functions of the head and neck, along with the dental materials used in practice and the basics of nutrition as they relate to oral health. The program places strong emphasis on applied learning, with numerous laboratory sessions and clinical internships intended to prepare students for direct patient care before they enter the workforce. The page also highlights strong employment prospects and describes the possibility of an international career for graduates. It suits students interested in health care and preventive practice who want hands-on clinical training leading directly into a specific allied-health profession, combining scientific coursework with supervised clinical experience in a dedicated teaching clinic.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Techniques d'hygiène dentaire (111.B0) requires Cégep de Trois-Rivières' general college admission conditions (a DES, or a DEP plus the secondary 5 language and secondary 4 mathematics courses) together with the programme's own science prerequisite: Science and Technology (STE) or Science and Environment (SE) from secondary 4, or Sciences physiques 436 for applicants who completed the former curriculum. The language requirement is met through the DES's own secondary 5 language-of-instruction and second-language courses; the college publishes no separate IELTS or TOEFL score for this programme. The programme has limited capacity and may close after the first SRAM admission round, so early application is advised. Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended before students begin clinical placements, and graduates must join the Ordre des hygiénistes dentaires du Québec to practise. No interview, portfolio, or minimum grade average is published for entry.
