National Dental Assisting Examining Board - Bureau national d'examen d'assistance dentaire

At the NDAEB we contribute to the health and public safety of Canadians through excellence in the examination and evaluation of dental assistants. Our mission is to assure that dental assistants have met the current national standard in the knowledge and skills required by Canadian regulatory authorities. Through ongoing monitoring of current standards, practice, and assessment, we ensure our examinations are reliable, valid, and relevant. Each year we assess over 2,000 Dental Assistants through examinations and evaluations offered in both official languages, and across Canada.
