If you are not already an active Tri-C student, you must first apply to the college. If you are interested in more than one health careers program, you must submit a separate health careers application for each program. You may only apply to three programs at one time.

Dental hygienists are licensed primary health care professionals, health educators and clinicians who provide preventive, educational and therapeutic services supporting total health for the control of oral diseases and the promotion of oral health.  Employment opportunities exist in private practices, health care agencies, hospitals, sales, government research programs and in dental hygiene education programs.  Upon successful completion of this curriculum, the graduate may take national and regional examinations and apply for licensure.
