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.
