  • The Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, more commonly known as RCDSO, was established on March 4th, 1868 by Ontario Statute. The RCDSO is the governing body of dentists in Ontario and protects the public's right to quality dental healthcare. As per the RCDSO website, its mission is to protect the public’s right to quality dental services by providing leadership to the dental profession in self-regulation. The College believes that self-regulation must be open, responsive, accessible, equitable, and accountable to bring about safe, effective, and ethical dental care in Ontario. Trust between the public and dental care providers is the key. The public trusts dentists to set and monitor their own professional standards. In return, dentists must give their patients high-quality dental care. The College, as a statutory body, is one of 21 regulatory health colleges in Ontario for health-care professions such as physicians, pharmacists, and nurses. The Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), the Dentistry Act and other provincial laws provide the legal framework for RCDSO to carry out regulation of the dental profession to protect the public interest. This responsibility is regarded and upheld very seriously. The College exercises its independent powers in the public interest, believing that it has a duty to demonstrate this, and to encourage public confidence in the regulatory framework.
