The Prince Edward Island Dental College (PEIDC, College) looks after public access to safe dental care in the province. It ensures that licensed dental professionals—dentists and registered dental assistants—are properly trained and maintain a high standard of competence, appropriate to their specific licenses, throughout their careers.
In PEI, dental hygienists are regulated through the College of Dental Hygienists of Prince Edward Island.
