Roll of hearings and decisions

The mandate of the Disciplinary Council is to hear any complaints made by the Syndic, the Assistant Syndic or by any other individual concerning a dentist following a breach of the Professional Code, the Dental Act, the Code of ethics of dentists or regulations adopted pursuant to these laws.

The Disciplinary Council is composed of the chair, a lawyer appointed by the government, and 23 dentists appointed by the Ordre des dentistes du Québec’s Board of Directors. The Council sits by division composed of three members, i.e., the chair and two dentists.

The roll of hearings is posted at the Ordre des dentistes du Québec’s head office at least 10 days before the date set for the hearing. All hearings are public unless the Disciplinary Council orders a closed session. The roll of disciplinary hearings indicates the identity of the dentist, the nature of the complaint, the date, time and location of the hearings. This page also provides the online roll of hearings schedule. Before attending, however, we recommend that you check to see if there have been any changes, by consulting the roll of hearings schedule.

Unless otherwise ordered, it is possible to have access to the documents contained in the disciplinary file, including the complaint, as of the first day of the hearing.

The decisions rendered by the Disciplinary Council since June 2001 are now accessible on the SOQUIJ site at http://citoyens.soquij.qc.ca or on the Canadian Legal Information Institute’s CanLII site at http://www.canlii.org/en.

Please note that the Disciplinary Council’s decisions may be appealed at the Professions Tribunal or judicially reviewed and may not, therefore, be final.

To check whether an ODQ member has been the subject of a disciplinary complaint or for any other information, please contact the Secretary of the Disciplinary Council at 514 875-8511 or 1 800 361-4887 (toll-free).
