✨ FREE QA WEBINAR! ✨

Selected for the 2027 CDHO Quality Assurance Assessment? Start Here!

Have you recently been selected or volunteered for assessment—and now you’re wondering what happens next?

We've been receiving lots of calls and seeing many questions from Ontario dental hygienists who are feeling unsure about the process, the four assessment paths and where to begin. With the updated SMILE Portal and recent changes to CDHO’s QA requirements, I thought this was the perfect time for us to come together.

Join me for a complimentary one-hour webinar where we will review:

✅ The recent changes to CDHO’s QA Program
✅ The updated SMILE Portal
✅ The four Peer and Practice Assessment paths
✅ Important dates and requirements
✅ What you can do now to feel organized and prepared
✅ Your questions during a live Q&A

Whether you have been selected for assessment or simply want to better understand your annual QA responsibilities, you are welcome to join us.

You don’t have to figure everything out at once. Let’s break it down, create a manageable plan and help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

📅 Date: Friday, September 11, 2026
🕐 Time: 1PM EST
💻 Live Online Webinar
🎟️ Complimentary Registration

Before September Sneaks Up on You
July 14, 2026 - On Track Tuesday
by Kathleen Bokrossy

Every year, it happens.

Summer feels long...

Until suddenly it isn't.

One minute we're enjoying slower mornings, vacations, and long weekends.

The next, September arrives and calendars fill up almost overnight.

If you're like many dental hygienists, the start of a new academic year often comes with good intentions.

"This is the year I'm going to stay current."
"This is the year I'm going to be more intentional about my continuing education."
"This is the year I'll keep up with the research instead of trying to catch up later."

The challenge isn't motivation.

It's having a simple plan.

Professional growth doesn't have to mean cramming CE hours into December or scrambling before Quality Assurance deadlines. It can simply mean creating a learning rhythm that fits your life.

At rdhu, we've designed two options to make that easier. Both are available only during the summer months, making this the perfect time to plan your learning for the year ahead.

Dental Hygiene Quarterly (DHQ) Summer Special provides curated, evidence-informed learning delivered throughout the year. Approximately three hours of continuing education each quarter, complete with activity sheets, reflection prompts, handouts, and additional resources to help you move from learning to implementation.

The All Access Virtual Pass gives you unlimited access to our live streaming courses throughout the academic year. Register with one click, learn alongside colleagues from across the country, and choose the topics that matter most to your practice and your patients.

The links are below if you'd like to explore either option. Both summer offers are available for a limited time, making this the perfect time to plan your learning for the year ahead.

Whether your goal is to deepen your clinical knowledge, explore new areas of practice, or simply stay connected with what's changing in our profession, now is a wonderful time to make a plan.

Future You will be grateful that you did.

Have a wonderful week!

Warmly,
Kathleen

Looking forward to Tuesday evening with Garrison Dental as we kick off our 3-part webinar series!

Part One:
Sharp Thinking: How to Assess, Maintain, and Decide When to Sharpen or Replace Your Instruments

Sharp instruments don't just improve efficiency—they influence ergonomics, tactile sensitivity, clinician longevity, patient comfort, and clinical outcomes.

Together, we'll explore a practical framework to help you assess instrument condition, recognize signs of wear, and make confident decisions about sharpening, monitoring, or replacing your instruments.

We already have over 600 dental professionals registered, and there is still time to join us!

If you haven't registered yet, visit Garrison Dental's Learning Centre:

I look forward to seeing you Tuesday evening!
