Dental hygienists are viewed as playing a key role in bridging the gap between oral and general health care. The public and community sectors include a focus on oral health services in such settings as hospitals, community centers, residential care facilities, rehabilitation facilities, assisted living environments, and services for the homebound. Dental hygienists have an important role in the participation of the assessment and diagnosis of caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer, and many other oral conditions. They are also involved in the treatment planning, implementation of preventive and therapeutic services, and the evaluation of such conditions.
This three-year Bachelor of Science program focuses on dental hygiene care for all people and communities. It is offered in six terms over three years and will utilize times outside of regular work hours for lectures, labs and clinics to allow students to carry on their regular activities during the day and attend school in the evenings from 5–10 pm. The program uses cutting-edge technology with haptic dental simulators, pre-clinical and clinical areas. |
