The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to a dental hygienist.
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.

Who has the best dental hygiene national board results?
I am very knowledgable on this subject as I own and operate www.AndyFutureRDH.com which is the nation's number 1 dental hygiene website. Dental Hygiene National Board results used to be ranked several years ago, however currently only the fools at the ADA have that information and it is NOT released to the public. The only thing the program directors receive now are their individual school scores. There is no way to find out how the school ranks nationally. Another great job by the ADA! They continue to do whatever it takes to try to control the hygiene profession.
