Department of Dental Education

Welcome to the Department of Dental Education website. The department includes three dental programs: dental assisting, dental hygiene, and dental laboratory technology. Although the three programs are careers within the dental profession, each of the three dental education programs are very different. We encourage you to review each website and then make an appointment with a program advisor. We look forward to seeing you soon.
