Program Description

The Associate of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene Program is a two-year, six-term, 82 credit course of study that provides a broad range of education and experience. This program provides comprehensive intra- and inter-professional education in the basic sciences, health sciences, and clinical dental hygiene for men and women of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds. If a student wishes to transfer to another dental hygiene program, the transferability of credits earned at the University of Pittsburgh's Dental Hygiene Program is at the discretion of the program that the student wishes to attend.

Students in the Dental Hygiene Program provide dental hygiene services for patients of the School of Dental Medicine. Under experienced faculty supervision, students provide dental hygiene services such as oral prophylaxis, periodontal scaling, dental sealants, and topical fluoride, patient education, and nutritional analysis. The team approach, joining the dental hygienist, dental students, and or residents, is used to provide comprehensive dental care to patients.
