Hagerstown Community College

Certainly, I can assist you with information about the Hagerstown Community College Dental Assisting Program and Dental Hygienist program.

The Dental Assisting Program at Hagerstown Community College prepares students for entry-level positions as dental assistants in various dental offices. The program combines classroom instruction and hands-on training to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills required in the field of dental assisting. Students will learn about dental anatomy and physiology, dental radiography, dental materials and instruments, infection control, and more.

The Dental Hygienist program at Hagerstown Community College is designed to prepare students for licensure as Registered Dental Hygienists. This program combines classroom instruction, laboratory practice, and clinical experience to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform dental hygiene procedures. Students will learn about oral health education, preventive and therapeutic services, dental radiography, periodontology, and more.

Both programs have specific admission requirements, and interested students should contact the Admissions Office for more information. Additionally, students who successfully complete the Dental Assisting Program may be eligible to sit for the Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) examination offered by the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB).
