The dental job market in Montreal
Montreal brings together neighbourhood practices, multi-chair clinics and specialty practices on a single island. A clinic’s needs depend on its team, its patients and its opening hours: compare each opening rather than relying on the neighbourhood alone.
It is also a bilingual city, and the only one in Quebec with two faculties of dental medicine, at Université de Montréal and McGill University. Dental hygiene and dental assisting are taught there in French as well as in English.
