After the first semester in the program, students will spend 12 hours each week at the school’s dental hygiene clinic to gain clinical experience that includes screening patients for oral diseases, performing dental cleanings, taking digital X-rays, sterilizing equipment and providing preventive care, according to the university’s website.
It is the only dental hygiene program in Florida that offers a bachelor’s degree.
The next cohort of classes begins Sept. 5.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
