The dental hygiene program is an integral part of the dental school preparing both dental hygiene and dental students for inter and intra-professional patient care. Dental hygiene and dental students experience some classwork together and collaborate with each other on the care of their shared patients via mini-clinics. Here they learn to respect the contributions both professions make to the team concept of dental treatment.
