The landscape of learning is rapidly evolving, and dental hygienists are no exception. In 2025, it is clear that traditional learning methods are no longer enough. Dental hygienists want more: they want flexibility, practicality, and a learning experience that fits into their busy lives while empowering them to excel in their profession.
A recent survey by the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association found that 72% of Canadian dental hygienists prefer online learning platforms that allow them to learn at their own pace. With increasingly demanding schedules, many dental hygienists are opting for digital education that can be accessed from home, between patients, or on their own time. Gone are the days of long commutes for a weekend seminar; now, dental professionals are looking for on-demand courses that fit their lifestyle without compromising on quality.
However, it’s not just about flexibility. The content itself needs to be relevant and immediately applicable. Dental hygienists want real-world, actionable strategies that can directly improve their clinical practice. They want hands-on tools, actionable tips, and best practices that they can integrate into their work right away.
In addition, the rise of interactive and engaging learning formats, such as live webinars, video demonstrations, and digital discussion forums, has transformed the educational experience. Dental hygienists are looking for more than just passive learning; they want to interact, ask questions, and share insights with their peers. The shift towards collaboration and community-based learning is undeniable.

We are excited to share that we’ll be launching new and innovative learning opportunities tailored to help you be your best as a dental hygienist.
