BCDHA Members Gather in Kelowna for Skills Training and Networking

Oct 1, 2025

Dental hygienists from across B.C. gathered in Kelowna last weekend for An Introduction to Erythritol Air Polishing & Minimally Invasive Periodontal Therapy.

The hands-on workshop gave members the chance to participate in advanced training, combining education, practice, and professional networking.

Morning sessions focused on the science and techniques of air polishing, while the afternoon clinic gave participants the chance to refine their skills on the units.

Attendees also practised using the PerioMonitor and HybenX, and reviewed products such as CuraProx, Cetacaine, and other Oral Science offerings.

There was strong engagement throughout the day, with participants exchanging ideas and connecting with colleagues from across the province.

BCDHA staff also appreciated the opportunity to meet members in person and hear about their experiences. We extend a special thank-you to presenters Angel Kaushal and Martha Szczepulski for sharing their expertise and guiding participants through the day and Karen Treadgold or Oral Science.
