The major evidently will be dental hygiene. Because this major is highly intensive, I would not be too concerned about a minor. Your going to have your hands full with just the dental hygiene. Besides, if you start with the associates degree, there really is no room for a minor. Read the following carefully which will give you information on the educational requirements for dental hygiene.
Prospective dental hygienists must become licensed in the State in which they wish to practice. A degree from an accredited dental hygiene school is usually required along with licensure examinations. Education and training. A high school diploma and college entrance test scores are usually required for admission to a dental hygiene program. High school students interested in becoming a dental hygienist should take courses in Biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Also, some dental hygiene programs require applicants to have completed at least 1 year of college. Specific entrance requirements vary from one school to another. In 2006, there were 286 dental hygiene programs accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Most dental hygiene programs grant an associate degree, although some also offer a certificate, a bachelor's degree, or a master's degree. A minimum of an associate degree or certificate in dental hygiene is generally required for practice in a private dental office. A bachelor's or master's degree usually is required for research, teaching, or clinical practice in public or school health programs. Schools offer laboratory, clinical, and classroom instruction in subjects such as anatomy, physiology, chemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, nutrition, radiography, histology (the study of tissue structure), periodontology (the study of gum diseases), pathology, dental materials, clinical dental hygiene, and social and behavioral sciences. Licensure. Dental hygienists must be licensed by the State in which they practice. Nearly all States require candidates to graduate from an accredited dental hygiene school and pass both a written and clinical examination. The American Dental Association's Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations administers the written examination, which is accepted by all States and the District of Columbia. State or regional testing agencies administer the clinical examination. In addition, most States require an examination on the legal aspects of dental hygiene practice. Alabama is the only State that allows candidates to take its examinations if they have been trained through a State-regulated on-the-job program in a dentist's office. Other qualifications. Dental hygienists should work well with others because they work closely with dentists and dental assistants as well as dealing directly with patients. Hygienists also need good manual dexterity, because they use dental instruments within a patient's mouth, with little room for error.

Is your dental hygienist correct in stressing the importance of using a tongue cleaner?
Every dental hygienist I've met has been a little obsessive about oral health. Using a tongue cleaner might have some minor benefits (bad breath), but it is not nearly as important as brushing your teeth; you should be fine if you just skip it. If you're really concerned, you can use your toothbrush to brush the back of your tongue once in a while.

What dental plan covers crowns?
Most separate dental policies with a full array of benefits cover crowns. There are three general categories of dental procedures: 1) preventive (Ex--office visits, x-rays, cleanings), 2) minor (Ex--fillings, root canals) and 3) major (Ex--crowns, bridges, dentures, etc.).In a dental HMO the co-payment for major procedures will be higher than the co-pay for a minor one. In a dental PPO or an dental Indemnity plan (traditional insurance with no network), the % co-payment will be greater for a major procedure than for a minor one. It is fairly typical for the out-of-pocket co-payment for major procedures such as crowns to be 50% of the dentist's fee.NOTE: In a dental PPO the dentist's fee is negotiated, so is usually below the usual fee charged. For example if the fee for a crown is usually $1200, the DPPO negotiated fee might be $1000. So in a dental Indemnity plan, 50% would be $600 while under a DPPO, 50% would be $500.
