Dental Hygiene Programs in Dallas

I'm looking into dental hygiene programs and Dallas is a city I'm considering. Does anyone have recommendations for schools with strong dental hygiene programs in the Dallas area?

Certainly, Dallas offers several quality institutions with dental hygiene programs that are worth looking into that.

The Texas A&M College of Dentistry has an excellent Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene program. The program involves both pre-clinical study and practical clinical experience in various settings. It's pretty rigorous but it prepares students well for the professional field.

The Caruth School of Dental Hygiene, part of the Texas A&M College of Dentistry, is known for providing outstanding dental hygiene education in Texas. They have a comprehensive program that prepares students extensively for the clinical world, with access to some of the latest facilities and equipment.

Concorde Career College also has an accredited Dental Hygiene program that runs for 20 months and provides both theoretical and hands-on training. The program covers a range of topics, such as dental radiology, dental specialties, and pharmacology. Graduates of this program are qualified to take the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination and regional clinical licensing exams which are usually required for employment in the field.

Lastly, consider Collin College. It has an AAS in Dental Hygiene program that is well-regarded. The program involves classroom instruction, laboratory work and clinical practice to equip students with the necessary skills.

Before applying, I recommend researching each program's curriculum, accreditation, and student outcomes (such as pass rates on licensing exams). Decide what factors are most important to you in a program – the length of the program, cost, faculty qualifications, location, or something else – and weigh these when making your decision. Good luck in your search!
