Germanna Community College

Sure, I’d be happy to help you with information about Germanna Community College’s Dental Assistant and Dental Hygienist programs.

Germanna Community College offers both Dental Assistant and Dental Hygienist programs. The Dental Assistant program is designed to prepare students to assist dentists in a variety of clinical and administrative tasks. This program requires the completion of 32-credit hours and covers topics such as dental anatomy and physiology, dental radiography, infection control, dental materials, and dental office management.

The Dental Hygienist program at Germanna Community College is a two-year program that prepares students to become licensed dental hygienists. This program requires the completion of 77 credit hours and covers topics such as dental anatomy and physiology, periodontology, pharmacology, dental radiography, dental hygiene techniques, and dental office management.

Both programs require clinical experience, and students will have the opportunity to work with patients in a dental office setting. Upon successful completion of either program, students will be eligible to take certification exams and become licensed as dental assistants or dental hygienists in the state of Virginia.

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