What are Dental Hygienists?
Dental hygienists are licensed oral health care professionals who have
completed extensive educational and clinical preparation in preventive
oral health care. To become licensed, dental hygienists must graduate
from an accredited dental hygiene education program, pass the National
Board of Dental Hygiene Examination, and pass a state/regional clinical
licensure examination.
Continuing advances in the dental hygiene field and changing laws in
many states have encouraged registered dental hygienists to participate
in continuing education courses, keeping them up-to-date on the latest
techniques in dental hygiene practice .
