Dental hygienists
Find out what the Belgian Professional Association for Dental Hygienists can do for you as a dental hygienist.
What overall added value does BBM bring?
Among other things, BBM ensures that the interests of dental hygienists are defended at both national and international level. Furthermore, we ensure mutual contacts between you and your potential workplace by, for example, distributing job vacancies.
We organise several refresher courses every year, as dental hygienists are obliged to take 15 hours of refresher courses every year. BBM also ensures that the qualitative professional practice and socio-economic interests described in the RD are monitored. You can find out more about this in our mission, vision and objectives.
