Nutrition and dental health training for Dental Hygienists (Available in French only)
This online training is intended primarily for dental hygienists, but is also offered to other health professionals working with young children aged 5 to 16. This training was designed in collaboration with the l’Ordre des hygiénistes dentaires du Québec (OHDQ), together with nutrition and health experts. The objectives are to foster the acquisition of nutrition and health skills, as well as provide an analysis of the potentially cariogenic effect of food products. Upon completion of the training, health professionals will be better equipped to provide their patients with nutritional advice on dental health.
This online training, free of charge, is recognized by the OHDQ, and requires 4 hours of learning to be completed within 4 weeks. Three interactive modules need to be finished before access is given to the final exam, which allows health professionals to obtain a certificate of attendance.
Access to a discussion forum is offered in order to collaborate with other participants and to submit questions or comments to a dietitian from the Dairy Farmers of Canada team.
Please note: The online training resources available below are available in French only.
Please note that new sessions will be available next fall.
