Infected-Affected Dentists & CDAs
This policy describes how the College will work with dentists, certified dental assistants and applicants who report a physical or mental disease or condition that has substantially affected or may substantially affect their ability to practise safely or competently over time.
Reporting of such conditions is mandatory and an important ethical responsibility. The policy on Infected/Affected Dentists and Certified Dental Assistants is designed to protect the public while being fair and not unduly restrictive to the individual practitioner involved.
Dentists and certified dental assistants with potentially debilitating mental or physical conditions or diseases are urged to contact the College for more information, advice or assistance.
