Clinical UPDATE - January 2026
by Trenna Reeve 04 Jan '26

04 Jan '26

All Students, Welcome back, I hope you all had a great holiday and enjoyed a bit of a break from the college. As we get back into clinic, I would implore you all to refresh your mind on clinic protocols and remember the requirements for the pre-clinical and senior labs to be kept clean. Points to remember as we go into the next term: 1. Insurance pre-authorizations: * You must know the eligibility criteria set out by CDCP, prior to sending a pre-authorization request to your PCC. * Requesting pre-authorizations for patients who do not meet the criteria causes delay in treatment and increases the timeline of all submissions.View Criteria here: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental/dental-care-plan/guide.ht… * Pre-authorization submissions MUST include if the Crown/Denture is an initial placement. If not initial, you must indicate approximately how many years ago the existing was placed. You must provide this information to your PCC/Insurance Coordinator to avoid delaying your pre-authorization. * If you have been notified by a PCC/Insurance Coordinator of any missing information required for pre-authorization, update the PCC/Insurance Coordinator once that information has been obtained (ie: perio chart, x-ray etc) to ensure your pre-authorization is submitted in a timely manner. 2. Axium * Ensure you check your patient in and out. This is not only needed so everyone in the clinic and front desk are aware of patient flow and activity but also for safety reasons incase of a fire or emergency. * You must have a procedure code swiped for each patient's visit. It may take a number of sessions to complete a single procedure code so you are either in processing the same parent code at each appointment until treatment is completed or you are in processing/completing the step codes as appropriate. * Pay attention to the codes and information you are entering into axium. Patient records are legal documents and as such must accurately reflect the treatment provided at each session. * Having gone thru your mini clearance you can hopefully appreciate that keeping your patient documents accurate and up to date makes sense. 3. Hygiene Recall Rotation * For patients who have completed all planned dental care and are assigned to a hygiene student only, ensure these patients have a current (within 12 mos.) recall exam. This can be completed in the hygiene chair by the hygiene recall D4 student. D4 students need to ensure they input a recall exam code into the patient's chart and progress notes. * Remember to send out a general referral for undergrad student assignment and to have the interprofessional note completed at the session. 4. OHAF * For those students who have patients that have been assigned to them from the OHAF outreach program ensure that you contact these patient's immediately to schedule a treatment plan and start on treatment. * OHAF funding ends on 31 March 2026. What does this mean: * CDCP covered patients - any treatment that was pre-authorized by BOTH CDCP and OHAF funding BEFORE 31 March 2026 should be covered * Non CDCP patients - patients who DO NOT have CDCP coverage and were funded for dental treatment by OHAF funding only will NOT be covered for ANY treatment beyond 31 March 2026. All treatment covered by OHAF only patients MUST be completed by 31 March 2026, or it WILL NOT be covered. 5. Screening Patients * Some patients are referred to us from private practice offices. These referrals are for select procedures such as single implants, endo, crowns, and dentures. Sometimes we need to do a "limited" screening for these patients to determine if the referred treatment is within our students' appropriate learning level. This will be booked in the screening chair and will be labelled "LTD TX". * Do NOT do a comprehensive screening for these patients. When we have a limited referral from private practice, we only want to ensure that we are able to complete the specific care referred to us; we do not want to take over the comprehensive care for the patient. You can appreciate that we will lose out on private practice offices referring limited care to the college clinic if we proceed to take over the patient comprehensively. 6. Pediatric Patients * If there is a need to contact a parent/guardian of a pediatric patient, this must be coordinated through the Pediatric PCC at the front desk. Students should not use their personal means of communication to contact parents/guardians of the Pediatric Program Patients. 7. D3 Scanning Rotation * students must use the Emerald S scanners even if the Primescan is functioning. 8. Treatment Plans * If a procedure code is changed you must update the treatment plan. Copy and paste the entire treatment plan, make the corrections and then deactivate the old treatment plan. 9. IPAC * This is not something that you can forget at any point in your career. Make sure you are flushing your lines, washing your hands at all key points, and following all IPAC protocols. Breaches may result in loss of clinic privileges. Take care and have a great 2026.

SDH Policy on Final Exams and Grades
by Bernadette Franco 03 Dec '25

03 Dec '25

** Sent on behalf of Mary Bertone, Director, School of Dental Hygiene ** Hello DH2 & DH3, While you are busy with exams or preparing for the upcoming, please review the following SDH policies on Final grades, examinations, and supplemental examinations. Good luck with your exams! SDH Final Examination and Grade Results Policy: Final Exam Results: Final exam results will not be posted. Final Grade Notification: Final grades will be posted in Aurora after all grading activities are completed. Please allow 3 weeks for the final grades to be processed. Incomplete Grades: An "Incomplete" grade may be assigned if a student cannot complete course requirements due to extenuating circumstances as approved by the School of Dental Hygiene director. Supplemental Examinations A supplemental examination is an examination that may be offered as a privilege to a dental hygiene student who has failed a dental hygiene (HYGN) course or failed to achieve a satisfactory result. Such examinations are offered in order to grant the student an opportunity to rectify the inadequacy without repeating the course. Supplemental examination privileges are permitted in the School of Dental Hygiene for all HYGN courses with the exception of those in which remediation/re-examination is not realistically feasible. Such privileges must be approved by Dentistry College Council. Students seeking supplemental privileges should contact the Director indicating her/his request. Applications to write a supplemental examination must be accompanied by the paid fee before the supplemental examination can be written. The student will be notified in a letter from the Director's Office if she/he is granted the privilege and under what specific conditions. A student in DH 2 and DH 3 who has failed in not more than two HYGN courses at the end of the regular term, may, at the discretion of the Director and with approval from Dentistry College Council, be awarded the privilege of one or two supplemental examination(s). A student must maintain a minimum sessional (combined Fall and Winter terms) GPA of 2.0 in that year in order to be eligible for supplemental privileges. The passing grade in supplemental examinations is "C" for each course. A student who is granted supplemental privileges is obliged to sit the examination at the earliest opportunity. The student must contact the course coordinator within 7 days of the date the notification letter from the Director's Office to schedule a plan for remediation and a date to write their supplemental examination. Supplemental examinations must be held prior to the opening of the Fall academic session. A student who has not successfully exercised supplemental privileges will be considered to have failed the year and may be required to repeat the entire year or a modified program as required by Dentistry College Council. If/when the condition is removed in that session, the student will be regarded as having completed the year to which the condition applied.

Clinic Update - 17 Nov 2025
by Trenna Reeve 16 Nov '25

16 Nov '25

Dental and Dental Hygiene Students: Please review with following updates and reminders: 1. Axium * if you plan an incorrect treatment then you need to copy the treatment plan in its entirety, make the necessary edits/corrections, delete the old treatment plan and have it signed for by the patient. 2. Pre-authorizations * Send an email on OUTLOOK (not axiUm) to your PCC with all information regarding the treatment you need to pre-authorize. * Students must familiarize themselves with the eligibility criteria set out by CDCP, prior to sending a pre-authorization request to your PCC. Requesting pre-authorizations for patients who do not meet the criteria causes delay in treatment and increases the timeline of all submissions. * View Criteria here: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental/dental-care-plan/guide.ht… * Students must indicate if the Crown/Denture is an initial placement. If not initial, you must indicate approximately how many years ago the existing was placed. You must provide this information to your PCC/Insurance Coordinator to avoid delaying your pre-authorization. * If you have been notified by a PCC/Insurance Coordinator of any missing information required for pre-authorization, update the PCC/Insurance Coordinator once that information has been obtained (ie: perio chart, x-ray etc) to ensure your pre-authorization is submitted in a timely manner. 3. Patient check-in/Patient check-out * Before checking out your patient at the front desk, ensure you have obtained a swipe for the treatment code provided during the current clinic session. If not then have your patient have a seat in the waiting room and you must return to clinic to find your instructor and have your procedure codes swiped. * If it takes you multiple appointments to complete a single treatment code, then that treatment code should be entered as in process for each of the sessions until it is completed. Treatment codes can be In processed multiple times and are required to reflect each appointment date that the student continues with the treatment. At each clinical session you must enter a treatment code that reflects care that was provided for that session even if it is incompleted. 4. Treatment plan timings * Dental hygiene students should not be scheduling patients until a comprehensive treatment plan has been completed. Communicate with the assigned dental student to coordinate timings to ensure the treatment plan is completed before you schedule the patient for hygiene care. If this is not possible your options are to have the treatment plan completed by the D4 on Hygiene Recall with you or speak to the front desk PCCs and they will look at scheduling the patient for a treatment plan. 5. Radiology * Ensure you have completed the radiology request form and procedure codes for any planned radiographic images and have this approved before bringing your patient to radiology. All radiology requests must be approved by a dental instructor or for those on DH Recall, by the floor lead. * CBCTs will not be fee waivered if they are for diagnostic purposes. If a CBCT is required to help diagnosis or treatment plan it will not be fee waivered. A CBCT may be considered to be fee waived is if it is needed during endodontic therapy to assess ongoing treatment (determine if student has ledged/perforated, missed a canal). Please discuss the cost of CBCT imaging with your patient prior to imaging. * Generally, all CBCTs on the main clinic floor should be for endodontic purposes only. When working with the endodontist if it is felt that a CBCT is required then this will need to be discussed with the patient (fee vs. payment) and then discussed and approved by the floor lead. * If a CBCT has been completed for any reason the radiographic report must be completed with the endodontist first, then forwarded to Dr. Sunil Mutalik for overall review. Have a great week. Trenna M.

FW: Holiday Donations
by Bernadette Franco 06 Nov '25

06 Nov '25

Good morning all, As part of Sigma Phi Alpha, Delta Eta Chapter's philanthropic efforts, we are hoping to collect donations for 1JustCity! They are a non-profit charitable organization that promotes social justice and addresses issues such as homelessness, food insecurity, and provides culturally appropriate support to their Indigenous guests. As they run three drop-in locations and have a large demand from the community, they mentioned it would be incredible to have some extra support this season. Their community development lead says bus tickets are a huge need (there are never enough, the more the merrier - especially with the cold weather approaching)! This includes senior tickets. Besides bus tickets, I have attached lists of accepted vs. not-accepted items. Please take a look! Both items and monetary donations are welcome. Item donations can be left in the box labeled SPA at the SDH office (Room D212 - 780 Bannatyne Ave.). Monetary donations can be made via e-transfer to this email address (sigmaphialpha.deltaeta(a)gmail.com<mailto:sigmaphialpha.deltaeta@gmail.com>), or by cash (enveloped, put into the SPA mailbox in D212). Bus tickets can be enveloped and put in the SPA mailbox as well. I will be taking all donations to 1JustCity on Friday, Nov 28th, so please have your donations in before then. This donation opportunity is extended to faculty and students at the SDH, so please feel free to participate if you wish. Please reach out if you have any questions. Thank you and have a nice week! Stacey Urban, RDH President Sigma Phi Alpha, Delta Eta Chapter The School of Dental Hygiene D212-780 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2
