It would be best to ask the doctor treating your for the Carpal Tunnel problem about this, as each person is different. Certainly you would not want to pursue a career that would make your Carpal problem worse.

Where do you first start to become a dental hygienist?
The most prevalent schools that offer this program are community colleges. If you have not started college yet, the community college is a great place to start. Start with your home county community college. If the schools does not offer dental hygiene you can still start at the school and get your basics out of the way. While you are there you can start to research schools that do offer dental hygiene.
Dental Hygienists?
Becoming a dental hygienist is a great job for anyone looking for a permanent career, or a flexible job that leaves time to pursue other opportunities. Dental Hygienists can work full time, part-time, evenings and on weekends. They generally work in private dental offices, hospitals or public health organizations. To become a dental hygienist, one must enroll in a dental hygienist program at an accredited school. Most community colleges offer a two year program that results in an Associate’s degree, a four year program at a university where you will obtain a bachelor’s degree, or you can advance further and obtain a master’s degree. Courses for the dental hygienist focus primarily in the sciences. Anatomy, physiology, biology, chemistry, microbiology, pathology and nutrition are all required to graduate from both the two and four year program. However, with a higher degree, you will take more courses in the humanities, such as psychology and sociology. Obtaining a bachelor’s or master’s degree will allow you even more opportunities for advancement in this career. If you are seeking dental hygienist jobs in the public sector, you will most likely be required to have a bachelor’s degree. These jobs are great for the career-minded person because you will have more stability and they generally provide better benefits than a private dental office. Additionally, with a more advanced degree, you can conduct research and teach in a dental hygienist program. Once you have successfully graduated from the dental hygienist program, you will be required by whatever state you wish to practice in to take written and clinical exams to obtain a license. Most states also require you to take the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination and an examination on the legalities of being a hygienist. Dental hygienists work directly with the patients to teach them about proper oral health care and ways to prevent diseases and infections to their teeth and gums. Other duties include removing plaque and tartar, inspecting patients’ mouth and neck for signs of infection and disease, applying sealants to prevent cavities, performing x-rays on patients, installing fillings, and sometimes administering anesthetics. The starting salary of a dental hygienist ranges from $20,000.00 to $30,000.00. The average salary of a more experienced hygienist ranges from $57,000.00 to $74,000.00.
Do you have to get permission before you transfer from a community college?
No, you do not need permission. You will just have to request an official transcript from your current school from the Office of the Registrar. Still, if you are in a competitive or restricted program (nursing, dental hygiene, etc.), it would be appropriate to let that department know you will be transferring.

Can you use a dental assisting certificate as an advantage to get a dental hygenist degree?
Typically, dental hygiene is a competitive program in that there are more applicants than seats available. Therefore, it becomes a selection process (by committee) where the best students are chosen particular to established criteria. Each institution may have their own entrance requirements. One of the things they look at is past experience. In your case they will see that you know something about the field, and are serious in your pursuit to achieve your goal as a dental hygienist. In this way it is an advantage. In addition, if you completed a diploma program in dental assisting from a regionally accredited college or university, some credits may be transferred toward your intended dental program. Still, if not, it will still serve you well. Other requirements you may have to complete before applying are English, human anatomy and physiology, chemistry, microbiology, psychology, etc. As I stated, each school will have requirements particular to itself.

Does very mild carpal tunnel still mean you have it?
Does a mild headache still mean you have a headache? Does a mild sprained wrist mean you have a sprained wrist. Yes, you either have carpal tunnel or you don't. The severity depends on whether you need an Advil or an operation. It's not a measure of degree of whether you have it or not, it's a measure of severity. Can you function with it or not? Talk to your doctor.
