In the United States, each state has its own requirements for licensure of dental hygienist. It would be best to check with the board of dental examiners in the state you wish to practice. Most states have the following minimum requirements:

1. Be a graduate of an accredited dental hygiene school.

2. Achieve a minimum score on the Dental Hygiene National Board (each state sets their own minimum).

3. Pass a state or regional board.

4. Demonstrate familiarity with the laws and regulations of the state regarding the practice of dental hygiene and dentistry.

5. Maintain competence through annual or frequent continuing education.

6. Uphold the legal and ethical standards of the profession.
