I absolutely hope so. Right now, I think it's only in Saskatchewan and maybe a few other provinces that dental therapists can practice on federal land. We have a new training program in Saskatchewan, so that workforce will be reinvigorated, but we need pathways to licensure for them across Canada.
Again, if there are those who can provide a lot of treatment, even if not the full scope of dentistry but enough that they can see healthy children with simpler needs, then those of us who specialize can focus more on those who really need our specialty services.
