CNC’s Dental Hygiene program is accepting new adult patients to receive preventative dental care at the dental clinic at CNC’s Prince George campus.

The College of New Caledonia (CNC) is now accepting new adult patients at its dental clinic for the fall semester, from September to December.

The clinic offers preventative care by dental hygiene students, supervised by licensed dental practitioners, for a flat fee of $50.

“This is an excellent opportunity for our students to gain hands-on experience while serving the community,” said Diane Horita, senior clinic lead. “Our clinic not only helps students develop their skills but also ensures accessible and quality dental care for our patients.”

Services at the CNC dental clinic include comprehensive dental hygiene care, fissure sealants, full mouth x-rays, panorex imaging and sports guards. However, the clinic does not offer restorative services such as fillings or dentures, nor does it provide emergency dental treatment.

“It’s incredibly rewarding to help improve patients’ oral health while learning and applying new skills,” said Anisha Mahtani, a second-year dental hygiene student.

Patients should anticipate appointment times of approximately two to three hours, depending on their individual needs and how long they have been without professional dental care. Multiple visits may be required for complete treatment.

The CNC dental clinic operates from September through early May and is closed on statutory holidays and during the Christmas break. Clinic hours vary each semester based on course schedules.
