Hello and Welcome to the Department of Dental Hygiene Web Page. I am Roberta Smith, Chair of the Department. As you have navigated your way to the site, you are obviously interested in or at least curious about the field or the health professions in general. Dental Hygienists are licensed oral health care professionals who work as part of the dental team to provide preventive, therapeutic and educational services to their patients. Dental Hygiene is one of the fastest-growing health care fields, with top salaries and many employment opportunities. It is an excellent profession for both men and women alike. So please explore the site to find out information on admission requirements, the course sequence, and more. Better yet, make an appointment in our campus clinic and get a first-hand experience as to what dental hygiene is all about! Thank you for visiting and for additional information, please contact us at the numbers listed on this web page.
