You will need to get licensed as a hygienist. Not sure about the asaistant. There are many who have taken courses to be medical secretaries so they will have an advantage in terms of employment. Employers also want to hire people who will remain longterm so the time training doesn't go to waste. Would also waen you that Canada has a surplus of dentists. The article was written a few years ago but the surplus has continued to get worse.

Your employment letter and work experience must match the NOC. So you are a dentist.

Ok...so being licensed with Canadian govt ie clearing nbed is no criteria for getting pr right?

Correct. You can get invitation and never work as a dentist in Canada.
