Open Doors to a Growing Career Field: Investigate Dental Hygiene Education
Dental hygienists must be licensed by the State in which they practice. To qualify, a candidate must graduate from an accredited dental hygiene school and pass both a written and clinical examination. There are a number of options for formal Dental Hygiene Education. An associate degree is sufficient for practice in a private dental office. A bachelor's or master's degree usually is required for research, teaching, or clinical practice in public or school health programs. Schools with Dental Hygiene programs offer laboratory, clinical, and classroom instruction in subjects such as anatomy, chemistry, pharmacology, nutrition, radiography, histology (the study of tissue structure), periodontology (the study of gum diseases), pathology, dental materials, clinical dental hygiene, and social and behavioral sciences.
