Misconduct Levy

Registrants who practice dental hygiene with a suspended, cancelled, or otherwise invalid practice permit may be subject to a misconduct levy. This levy is a minimum of $1,000.

Dental hygienists are required to apply for a renewed practice permit through the ACDH renewal process prior to October 31st every year.

An application for renewal that is initially submitted to the College after 11:59 pm on October 14th will be subject to an administrative fee. An application for renewal that is not completed and approved by the College by 11:59 pm on October 31st will be subject to a 20% late fee.

Practicing dental hygiene in Alberta without a valid practice permit is considered unprofessional conduct and may result in an misconduct levy.
