Assessing the quality of practice
In Quebec, all professional orders are governed by the Professional Code, which entrusts it with the mandate of protecting the public. A professional practice regulating program proposed by the Professional Inspection Committee is administered by the Professional Services Directorate of the Ordre des dentistes du Québec and helps fulfill this mandate.
Through this program, the ODQ ensures that dental care provided to the population complies with generally recognized practice standards. Focused mainly on support and prevention, this program verifies the quality of the practice of Quebec dentists and the conduct of their offices. In addition to ensuring that dentists comply with the standards of practice, the program promotes the improvement of the quality of services provided to patients.
