My daughter trained for a year to become a Dental Assistant, who helps the dentist. She choose to get a job working with an Orthodontist. A dental hygienist has to go to school longer and can get a higher salary.
To become a dental hygienist you need to study head and neck anatomy for when you give anesthetic injections as well as when you provide intraoral and extraoral cancer screenings at the beginning of the patient visits. Additionally, dental anatomy anatomy is required, which is also important for when giving anesthetic injections and to understand the morphology of each tooth to be able to identify abnormalities that are of concern and/or abnormalities within normal limits (WNL). And lastly, you have embryology anatomy so you can understand the process of growth and the cause of any abnormalities seen in the oral cavity.
It can be difficult, but if you work nights and weekends and accept lower pay for a while you can do it. I did it 30 years ago, and it was difficult but not impossible. You will have to study hard because dental hygiene can be a difficult degree to get. Once you get your degree, life becomes a lot easier. Good luck!
The programs for Dental Hygienist involve lots and lots of hands on training. This cannot really be accomplished with online study because so much of the course is directly hands on with patients. There are several online dental hygenist programs available. Many of these programs are directed through a local college or University.
To be a dental assistant you will need a 4 year bachelor degree with a major in pre-dentistry. If you would like to run your own practice or be a dentist, you will need an additional 4 years of study at a dental school.
About 6-9 months
Once you study to become a dentist assistant, you can then take an exam to become a dental hygenist. You can earn one by talking to your dentist boss and maybe he will tell you where and when to call and make an appointment.
There are a number of community colleges that offer this program of study, which is competitive. It is a two year program of study, once the student enters the professional phase of the program. How long it takes to complete the required prerequisites is up to the student.
In inida, to become a dentist, one needs to study 4 years course of Batchelor of dental surgery and 1 year of internship in a college recognized by dental council of India and must register with any state dental council. Dr.SrinivasaRao
The field that seems to be consistently hiring in the current job climate is in health care. While nursing at different levels of training holds the most promise, many other areas are also growing. Dental Hygienist training should offer you the possibility of good, ongoing employment. You'll get a better feel if you ask about the rate of employment of graduates of the program of study and if you speak with a few dentists or dental office administrators in your area to find out if they are having difficulties finding qualified Hygienists.
