Worked examples: how to reason through NDHCE questions
These are practice questions written for this site, not questions from the real exam. Each explanation shows why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong.
Example 1
Question: A dental hygienist discovers that the autoclave failed its weekly spore test. What is the appropriate next step?
- Continue using the autoclave and repeat the test next week
- Remove the autoclave from service, recall possibly non-sterile instruments, and contact the manufacturer
- Increase the temperature setting and retest immediately
- Switch to chemical disinfection instead
Answer: B. Remove the autoclave from service, recall possibly non-sterile instruments, and contact the manufacturer
Explanation:
Option B is correct. A failed spore test means the sterilizer may not have killed resistant spores, so it must stop being used, instruments processed since the last good result must be recalled, and the manufacturer or service provider should be contacted. Option A is wrong because it keeps putting patients at risk while the problem continues. Option C is wrong because raising the temperature guesses at a cause and does not establish sterility. Option D is wrong because chemical disinfection is not equivalent to sterilization for critical instruments. The rule to remember: a failed biological indicator is treated as a sterilization failure until the equipment is shown to work again, so remove, recall, investigate and retest.
Example 2
Question: Which bloodborne pathogen poses the highest risk of transmission following a needlestick injury in a dental setting?
- HIV
- Hepatitis C (HCV)
- Hepatitis B (HBV)
- Hepatitis A (HAV)
Answer: C. Hepatitis B (HBV)
Explanation:
Option C is correct. Hepatitis B virus carries the highest chance of transmission after a needlestick injury, which is why vaccination for dental staff matters so much. Option A, HIV, is a serious concern but is less likely to be passed on from a single needlestick. Option B, hepatitis C, is also transmitted through blood but at a lower rate than hepatitis B. Option D, hepatitis A, spreads mainly through the faecal-oral route and is not a typical bloodborne risk in a dental setting. The rule to remember: of the common bloodborne viruses, hepatitis B is the most easily transmitted by sharps, and it is the one a vaccine can prevent.
Example 3
Question: The parotid salivary gland's duct (Stensen's duct) opens into the oral cavity at which location?
- Sublingual caruncle beneath the tongue
- Floor of the mouth near the lingual frenum
- Buccal mucosa opposite the maxillary second molar
- Posterior soft palate near the uvula
Answer: C. Buccal mucosa opposite the maxillary second molar
Explanation:
Option C is correct. Stensen's duct carries saliva from the parotid gland and opens on the buccal mucosa, on a small papilla opposite the maxillary second molar. Option A describes the sublingual caruncle, where the submandibular (Wharton's) duct opens. Option B is wrong because the floor of the mouth near the lingual frenum is also the area of the submandibular and sublingual duct openings. Option D is wrong because the posterior soft palate has minor salivary glands but no major duct opening. The rule to remember: link each major gland to its duct and its landmark, parotid to the cheek and submandibular to the floor of the mouth.
How to use these practice tests
Start with the official material. Read the FDHRC blueprint and note the content areas listed on this page, then mark which ones feel weakest.
- Take a first set cold. Pick a practice set from the table above without reviewing first, so you see where you really stand.
- Read every explanation. Read the reasoning for the wrong options as well as the right one. The same ideas often come back in a different form.
- Keep an error list. Write down each miss with the rule behind it, in your own words. Review this list rather than rereading whole chapters.
- Work by topic, then mix. Spend most of your time on your weakest areas, then switch to the general practice test so topics are mixed together, as they will be on the exam.
- Practise on a screen and with a clock. The real exam is computer-based and long, so build up to sitting through a full set without breaks.
- Check logistics early. Confirm your eligibility, registration deadline and writing centre on the FDHRC website well before test day.
Our questions are written by us with AI tools and are not real exam questions. Use them to find gaps, and rely on your program notes and official sources for the final word.

START NDHCE PRACTICE TEST🗺️ Do I need the NDHCE to work as a dental hygienist in Canada?
Yes, in most of the country. The National Dental Hygiene Certificate earned by passing the NDHCE is required before you can apply for initial registration or licensing in every Canadian province except Québec, which has its own process.
START NDHCE PRACTICE TEST⏱️ How long is the NDHCE exam?
The NDHCE is split into two separate two-hour sessions with a compulsory 15-minute break between them. Candidates must sit both consecutive sessions, because partial credit is not given for completing only one.
