The college accepts 40 students into its dental hygiene program each year. This year’s graduating cohort includes five men, according to a May 10 news release.
The college said that while the prevalence of men in nursing has grown, dental hygiene has not seen the same increase. Women represent about 94% of registered dental hygienists in the industry, the college said.
