Dental hygienists are oral health professionals who, under the supervision of a dentist, provide preventive, educational, clinical and therapeutic services to help the public develop and maintain good oral health. A dental hygienist may work in private dental offices, dental clinics, public health agencies, hospitals, nursing homes, school districts or dental hygiene schools. Most dental hygiene programs are associate degree programs of which the first year of courses can be completed at Barton. The University of Missouri-Kansas City Dental hygiene program, however, is a bachelor’s degree program of which the first two years can be completed at Barton. The courses recommended are for admission to UM-KC’s dental hygiene program. Since course requirements for admission to dental hygiene programs are not identical, you should contact the college or university that you plan to attend for specific course requirement information.
