Pre-Dental Hygiene
|
|
|
The dental hygienist is a valuable member of the dental health team whose major responsibilities involve preventing oral disease through patient education, removing deposits from the teeth, exposing radiographs (x-rays), applying fluoride and sealants to the teeth, administering local anesthesia, and nutritional counseling. Opportunities for employment include working in a private dental office, state or federal government agencies, public and private schools, industry, dental product sales, and dental hygiene education. The future may bring employment opportunities in hospitals, nursing homes, and other treatment sites not now available.
Students pursuing a career in dental hygiene can attend Arkansas Tech for
two years to complete general education requirements and then transfer to a dental hygiene department for two years to complete the professional curriculum. Students should contact the dental hygiene program they plan to attend for specific information about degree requirements
