STATUTORY Committees

On May 1, 2025, the 1992 Dental Act was repealed, and the Provincial Dental Board of Nova Scotia was brought under the Regulated Health Professions Act. With this legislative change, the organization became the Nova Scotia Regulator of Dentistry and Dental Assisting (NSRDDA).  

In the coming months, our Committee structure will be modified to align with the new legislation.
