Location: Allied Health, Room 475 Telephone Contact: Karen Bateman 801-626-6130 Professors: Frances L. McConaughy; Associate Professors: Stephanie Bossenberger-James; Assistant Professors: Susan Dougherty, Carol Naylor, Teresa Wood; Instructor: Virginia Cannon I he dental hygienist is a health educator concerned with the prevention of dental disease. Dental hygienists perform their services under the supervision of licensed dentists, and are the only members of the dental team who are licensed to perform a service directly to the client. Dental hygienists provide oral health education, remove deposits from around the teeth and gums, expose dental radiographs and deliver other treatments to prevent and manage dental disease. The dental hygiene curriculum is three years in length. The first year may be completed at any accredited college or university and consists of pre dental hygiene courses. These courses include: chemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, English, speech, psychology, sociology, nutrition and CPR. This year of pre-dental hygiene courses is followed by two years of specialized study in dental hygiene. The two year dental hygiene curriculum includes practical experience in the WSU Dental Hygiene Clinic. Students also rotate to off-campus sites for extended clinical experiences. Students who successfully complete the three-year curriculum are awarded an Associate of Science degree from Weber State. A fourth year leading to a bachelor's degree is optional. To become a licensed dental hygienist, each student must successfully pass a written National Board Exam and a practical regional exam. The Dental Hygiene Program is accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation, a specialized accrediting agency recognized by the Council on Post-secondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education.
