In 1997, it was officially announced in Canada’s Parliament that October is National Denturist Awareness Month to make the public more aware of the specialized training, education, and licensing of Denturists, and about the role of Denturists in providing patients with services to benefit their oral health.
Denturists are oral health care professionals that provide denture services directly to the public who are endeavoring to make the public more aware of this profession by promoting and advancing the profession through public education.
Denturism has been a recognized health profession in Canada since as early as 1961 and all Provinces/Territories have Denturism as a regulated profession.
Denturists are highly trained in the fabrication and fitting of dentures directly to the public. They play an essential role in the oral health team and the overall wellness for many individuals and regular appointments with a Denturist can ensure a beautiful and healthy smile for years to come.
