We’re ready to take preventive dental hygiene in Belgium to the next level.
ABOUT THE BBM
Dental hygienists in Belgium! We’re all for it.
The Belgian Professional Association for Dental Hygienists (BBM) was set up by ten former students who graduated with a Bachelor in Dental Hygiene in the 2018-2019 academic year. Five studied at the Artevelde University in Ghent and the other five at the UCLL in Leuven. Each one a driven and passionate pioneer of the dental profession. Step by step, they created something beautiful. Here are some of the key dates so far:
∙ 14/07/2018
First meeting of the ten board members. Since then, meetings are held monthly.
∙ 30/04/2019
The nonprofit Belgian Professional Association for Dental Hygienists (BBM) registered its articles of association and obtained its company registration number. From this point it became a full legal entity.
∙ 03/05/2019
The nonprofit Belgian Professional Association for Dental Hygienists (BBM) was published in the Belgian Official Journal (Staatsblad/Moniteur).
