Regulations enacted under the Dental Hygienists Act of Nova Scotia (2007) and effective May 15, 2009 allow registered and licensed dental hygienists to provide services in a variety of practice settings in addition to a dental office. Practice settings can include long-term care facilities, collaborative practices, multi-discipline clinics, mobile services, and/or a stand-alone (storefront) office.
