Alamance Community College

Sure, I can help you with information about Alamance Community College’s Dental Assisting and Dental Hygienist programs.

Alamance Community College (ACC) offers both Dental Assisting and Dental Hygienist programs. The Dental Assisting program is a diploma program that takes approximately one year to complete. This program prepares students to work as a dental assistant, performing tasks such as taking x-rays, preparing patients for procedures, and assisting the dentist during procedures.

The Dental Hygienist program is an associate degree program that takes approximately two years to complete. This program prepares students to work as a dental hygienist, performing tasks such as cleaning teeth, taking x-rays, and providing education on oral health to patients.

Both programs at ACC are accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA), which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This means that graduates of these programs are eligible to take national board exams and state licensure exams in order to become licensed dental professionals.

If you are interested in applying to either program at ACC, you will need to meet certain requirements, including completing prerequisite courses and passing a criminal background check. You can find more information about the application process and requirements on the ACC website or by contacting the program directly.

I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
