DENTAL HYGIENE Program Director: Kathleen M. Lukken Location: Building 3, Room 327 Telephone: 626-6130 Professor: Reed M. Stringham, Jr.; Associate Professors: Kathleen M. Lukken, Robert C. Soderberg; Assistant Professor: Sarah E. Toevs, J. Kris Hanson; Instructors: Fran L. McConaughy Description Dental 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 on the patient. As a member of the dental health team in a dental office, dental hygienists remove deposits and stains from the teeth; expose and develop x-rays; apply topical fluoride; take impressions of teeth for study models; and instruct patients in correct brushing and flossing procedures, dietary analysis and nutritional counseling. Dental hygienists in public health settings conduct educational programs for school children and community agencies; develop media for use and distribution; consult with other health agencies; and provide treatment in health department clinics. Employment in dental hygiene education programs involves instructing students in the theory and clinical skills essential for dental hygiene practice. Education 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 or Physiology, Microbiology, Physics, English, Speech Psychology, Sociology, Nutrition and CPR. Students enrolled in Weber State College 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 College, at the Veterans' Administration Hospital 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 College. A fourth year leading to a bachelor's degree is optional. The program in Dental Hygiene is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. To become a licensed dental hygienist, each student must successfully pass a written National Board Exam and a practical state exam.
