Regency Dental Hygiene Academy Inc.

Regency was granted Accreditation status by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC) in 2006. Regency is registered in Ontario as a Private Career College under the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

Graduates of any dental hygiene school must sit for the National Dental Hygiene Certification Board Examination. The College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO) is the regulatory body for dental hygiene in the province of Ontario. To practise dental hygiene in Ontario, a person must, upon graduating, inform and register with the CDHO.

All arrangements and fees associated with both writing the National Dental Hygiene Certification Board Examination and registering with CDHO are the responsibility of the student/graduate. The respective fees are payable directly to the National Dental Hygiene Certification Board and to the CDHO.

Many of our students and graduates are from Alberta and British Columbia so we decided a trip to Vancouver is warranted.

Regency Dental Hygiene Academy partnered with Cummer LINC in North York, one of the Toronto District School Board’s locations for offering English as a second language (ESL) programs.  Senior Regency students presented educational programs to the adult ESL learners on a variety of oral health topics.  The lively, interactive sessions were much appreciated by the learners as well as the staff at Cummer LINC.

Regency Dental Hygiene Academy partnered with Ryerson Community School in a pilot “Reading Oral Health Promotion Program” for grade 3 children.  The program, presented by senior Regency students, was a great success and fun for all concerned.

The class of Spring 2008 attended its “Graduation Celebration” on Sunday April 13, 2008 at the Bayview Country Club where an audience of 167, comprised of students, parents, relatives and friends along side members of faculty and staff honoured the accomplishments of this fine class.

All present enjoyed a lovely meal, ceremony and slide show created by the graduating class.  Roxanne Bartel, President/CEO welcomed the guests and challenged the students to pursue their dreams.  After an encouraging address from Dr. Malcolm Yasny, the school’s founder, May Diakoloukas , Program Director, presented each graduate with their diploma and a single red rose.  Family circled around and cameras sparkled light on the stage collecting images to be treasured for decades.
