How long has it been since your last dental exam and cleaning?

If it has been over a year, you've come to the right place. Fanshawe's Dental Hygiene students are fully equipped to assist you in improving your oral health. Supervised by registered dental hygienists and dentists, our clinic provides the highest quality preventative oral care. The best part? Service costs are significantly reduced since we are a teaching facility.

For over 25 years, the student clinic has offered Fanshawe's Dental Hygiene program students the opportunity to develop their skills with hands-on clinical experiences.
