Dental Hygiene Schools Directory
|
|
The schools listed in the dental hygiene schools directory are accredited. Accredited dental hygiene schools are known to develop socially conscious, civic-minded dental hygienist professionals who work with community leaders and other health professionals to promote oral health care. A dental hygienist career offers an opportunity to become a respected member of a team of oral health care professionals.

This dental hygiene schools directory contains dental schools in both the United States and Canada. Graduates of their programs receive an Associate degree. Many of the schools have two year dental hygiene programs. Some schools may have dental hygiene programs which also offer BA and Master Degrees in dental hygiene (which generally require at least two additional years of program study). If you are an international student looking to study in the US or Canada, go here for more information to help you get started.
The hygiene programs listed in the dental hygiene schools directory use the Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS) for its admissions process. The AADSAS serves as an information clearing house, helping to centralize the application process for both applicants and schools through the use of a single application form. While the AADSAS helps with the process,they are unable to answer questions about a particular schools program or the admission criteria. Applicants with questions related to a school's hygiene program should contact the school directly for answers to their questions.
The quality of education provided by the accredited hygiene programs listed in the directory is very good. While there are publications which provide dental hygiene program ranking numbers, this information can be misleading and is therefore, unreliable and not supported by the educational community. One of the best measurements of a programs academic performance is its accreditation status. This information is provided in the dental hygiene schools directory, in addition to the program's mailing address and contact phone numbers.
The decision of applying to a hygiene program is very personal and depends on many factors; career goals, personal interests, family circumstances and financial considerations. For this reason, use diligence when evaluating programs. Seek advice from both health care professionals and career advisers. While the goal is to be accepted into a dental school's hygiene program, the objective is to get into a program that compliments your goals, your abilities, and expectations. This involves research, interviews, and submitting all required materials such as transcripts, references, as well as the "dreaded" essay.
