Professional Practice
Note that during the COVID-19 pandemic, interim guidance for registrants has been created and is available here: /www.cdsbc.org/about-cdsbc/news/covid-19/covid-19-for-registrants. Please refer to that page for up-to-date information about expectations for registrants during this time.
CDSBC has many publications designed to support you in your professional practice. This section of the website provides information to help you manage your dental practice.
