After many years of contributing to the dental profession in the province, we are pleased to share the announcement that Dr. Hird will be joining the board of the College of Dental Surgeons of BC (CDSBC) on July 1st. The CDSBC is the regulatory body for dentists, dental therapists and certified dental assistants in BC; its core function is to protect the public by overseeing the conduct and competence of its registrants [adapted from CDSBC website]. It is an exciting new role, as the oral health professions enter a period of significant regulatory change and continue to deal with the current issues impacting dental care and the well-being of all British Columbians.
