DENTAL HYGIENE Program Director: Dr. Bonnie Branson, RDH Location: Allied Health, Room 475 Telephone Contact: Michele Ashdown 626-6130 Professors: Sarah E. Toevs; Associate Professors: Stephanie Bossenberger-James, Bonnie Branson, Frances L. McConaughy; Assistant Professor: Susan Dougherty, Carol Naylor Uental hygiene is a comparatively new profession and plays an important role in the field of health services. The 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 auxiliary team who are licensed to perform a service directly to the patient. Enrollment in dental hygiene education programs involves instructing students in the theory and clinical skills essential for dental hygiene practice. 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, physics, English, speech, psychology, sociology, nutrition and CPR. Students enrolled at Weber State may partially complete the basic science requirements by enrolling in the Biomedical core courses. This year of pre- dental hygiene courses is followed by two years of specialized study in dental hygiene. Student clinical experiences are scheduled in the Dental Hygiene Clinic at Weber State, at the Veterans' Administration Medical Center in Salt Lake City, and in local private dental offices. 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 state exam. The program in Dental Hygiene is accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Post-secondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. Dental Hygiene associate of science degree (a.s.) » Program Prerequisite: Completion of the prerequisite courses listed under Admission Requirements below. » Minor: Not required. » Grade Requirements: Prerequisite course work must meet a standard of 2.25 GPA. All courses required for the major must be successfully completed with a grade of "C" or better (a "C-" grade is not acceptable). » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 140 credit hours is required for graduation. A total of 36 upper division credit hours is required within the major (courses numbered 300 and above). Advisement Prospective students are advised by the advisement counselors in the College of Health Professions Advisement office. The number to contact is: 1-800-350-7042 (in Utah). Direct lines to the counselors are Judith Joy at 626-7136 or Robert Holt at 626-6128. The College of Health Professions Advisement Office will mail out brochures and applications upon request. Individual counseling appointments can be made for direct assistance. Admission Requirements The following prerequisite courses must be completed with a minimum GPA of 2.25 prior to being admitted to the program: either HthSci 111-113 Bio-Medical Core 15 plus 4 hours in Life Sciences & 5 hours in Physical Sciences or Human Physiology 5 Human Anatomy 4 Introduction to Chemistry 5 Introductory Microbiology 5 Introduction to Physics 5 These basic science prerequisite courses must have been taken within five years of the date of anticipated enrollment in the dental hygiene program.
