The Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC) is the governing body for specialization in the Dentistry profession in Canada.
The RCDC was established federally in 1965 to regulate specialization in the field of dentistry through the administration of exams known as the National Dental Specialty Examination (NDSE) and can grant membership into the Fellowship of the College (FRCDC).

The patron saint of dentists is Saint Apollonia, martyred in Alexandria by having all her teeth violently extracted.
The function of the forensic dentist is primarily documentation and verification of identity.
When a general dentist performs any procedure that falls within the realm of a specialty, they are expected to perform with the same level of expertise as a certified specialist and are legally held to such standards with respect to any issues of malpractice.
