At CNC, we pride ourselves in having an outstanding reputation for educating skilled dental professionals. The CNC dental hygiene program boasts a 20 operatory clinic with four additional radiography rooms that allows students to stay onsite for clinical courses. The clinical courses offer a 1:6 ratio of faculty to students in the clinical setting. Students are actively involved in our dental clinic providing patient-centered oral healthcare care services. Our clinic offers computerized dental stations, digital radiography, and hybrid record keeping abilities.
Students gain diverse opportunities working with various population groups in a variety of settings.
Program graduates are licensed healthcare professionals whose education and practice focus on the prevention of oral disease and the promotion of overall health and well-being. Dental Hygienists can work independent of, or alongside a dentist and are an important part of the health care team. Dental hygienists can also work in a variety of settings outside clinical practice including education and public health.
Upon completion of the three-year diploma program, CNC dental hygiene students are available for hire after the successful completion of the national board exam and licensure through the applicable regulatory college.
