What are the steps to be a dental Hygienist?
I am currently in a Dental Hygiene Program in Ohio- and i know how you feel , wondering what all you have to do and trying to figure everything out... But all you have to do is do all of your pre requisites and then once you get into the program , they will tell you everything. .. The program that i am in is 5 semesters long. Just worry about getting into the program, and then take it from there.





GOOD LUCK!


i know how you feel!

Reply:Look at the Dental Hygiene program. It listed all the classes that are needed and a counselor will help you.





Make sure your state isn't trying to pass laws for dental assistants to "scale" teeth. they are trying that here in Missouri-4th time in 5 years now!! It's all about money. They don't want to pay us. so so sad. Our association is constantly fighting them. Call you state dental Hygiene association to find out this info. This law has been passed in Kansas state and Mississippi.


sad, very sad.
