Dental Hygienist Training | Dental Hygiene College Programs

Are you considering Dental Hygiene as your first job after college? Are you looking for a good health care career move because you already have many of the classes necessary to enter this program?

If either of the above questions merits a yes answer, this may be a good program to pursue. It is important to get the facts, though, to make a good decision. Listed below you will find the necessary entry-level requirements and well as the Dental Hygiene schools listed in Kentucky.

PROGRAM ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:

Complete an application. Attend an information session. Provide proof of high school graduation or GED completion. Complete required COMPASS testing obtaining satisfactory scores in reading and writing or ACT scores in Reading and English. Complete the following courses with a grade of C or better in each:

1. BIO 164 Essential Anatomy/Physiology or both BIO 733 Health Science Anatomy AND BIO 734 Health Science Physiology

2. CHM 122 Introduction to General Chemistry

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON ENTRY LEVEL REQUIREMENTS, CALL DIRECTLY TO THE SCHOOL LISTED BELOW OR CHECK WITH THE AMERICAN DENTAL HYGIENIST ASSOCIATION. A LIST OF DENTAL HYGIENE SCHOOLS KENTUCKY IS BELOW.

DOES THIS ALL SEEM LIKE TOO MUCH JUST TO GET INTO THE PROGRAM?

Then perhaps you might consider entering another health field for a time until you can make a bigger decision. If you only want to attend school for a few weeks and find a job easily, perhaps you might consider the field of Kentucky CNA, also known as Kentucky Certified Nursing Assistant or Kentucky Nurses Aide.
