Location: Allied Health, Room 475 Telephone Contact: Melody Neely 801-626-6130 Professors: Stephanie Bossenberger, Frances L. McConaughy; Assistant Professors: Susan Alexander, Kami Hanson, Shelly Costley; Instructor Jeffrey S. Perry I he dental hygienist is a health educator and clinician concerned with the prevention of dental disease. Dental hygienists perform their services in a variety of settings, and are members of the dental team who are licensed to provide services directly to the dient. 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. 259 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, public speaking, psychology, sociology and nutrition. This year of pre-dental hygiene courses is followed by two years of specialized study in dental hygiene. The two year dental hygiene curriculum indudes pradical experience in the WSU Dental Hygiene ainic. 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 spedalized accrediting agency recognized by the Council on Post-secondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. Dental Hygiene bachelors degree (bs) » Program Prerequisite: Successful completion of an Associate's Degree in Dental Hygiene, National Board Examination and a Regional or State Practical Exam. Maintenance of a current dental hygiene license » Minor: Not Required. » Grade Requirements: 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 120 credit hours is required for graduation - 88 of these are taken for the AS degree and an additional 7 must be taken to complete the BS in Dental Hygiene degree. A prerequisite to the Baccalaureate Thesis course is an upper division Research and Statistics course (numbered 3000 or above, minimum of 3 cr hrs). Thirteen more upper division hours are sdeded by the student from a menu of eledive courses. Transcripts of transfer students will be evaluated on an individual basis. Transfer students must also complete the residency requirement (30 credit hours of WSU course work). Advisement Bachelor of Science Dental Hygiene majors must complete a contract with the Dental Hygiene Department Chair. Admission Requirements An Advanced Dental Hygiene major application to the program of study contract must be completed with the Dental Hygiene Department Oiair prior to beginning any of the advanced courses. General Education Refer to pages 37-43 for Bachdor of Science requirements. Any general education requirements not taken as part of the AS program must be completed in order to graduate with a BS degree. Course Requirements for BS Degree To be taken in addition to the courses required for an Associate's Degree in Dental Hygiene. Dental Science Courses Required (7 credit hours)* A total of seven additional DENT credit hours are required: two from DENT 4530 - Principles and Application of Evidence-based Dental Hygiene Practice, three from DENT SI4780 - Baccalaureate Thesis, and two from DENT 4890 - Advanced Community or Clinical Work Experience. DENT SI4780 may be used to fulfill 3 credit hours of the WSU scientific inquiry BS requirement.
