The Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC)

The College for Dental Specialists

RCDC provides examinations for all the nationally recognized dental specialties in Canada and for Dental Sciences. It is not a licensing body. Our core business is the provision of examinations for dentists following dental specialty training. Please see our Examinations page for more information.
