A key member of the professional dental team, the licensed dental hygienist is on the "front line" of patient care, responsible for providing educational, clinical and therapeutic services that promote total health through good oral health.

Fully accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation, this 83 credit hour program has six prerequisite courses, and requires four semesters and one summer session of full-time study. Successful completion leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree. All dental hygiene students gain important practical experience working in JCCC's state-of-the-art clinical facility under the supervision of licensed dental hygienists and dentists.

Enrollment is limited to one class per year, starting in the fall semester. The deadline for fall semester applications is December 1.
