What are the pre-req for dental hygienist?

Question

My GF is so lucky to became Dental Assisstant with RDA Certificate, she want to continue to move up and become a dental hygienist but she never attended to High School or College... What are the steps to become a dental hygenist? What field of major should i guide her to? does she need an A.A in biology? Does she need a G.E.D? Could someone kindly please explain to me what i should guide her to do?

Answer 1

She will need to have a GED i am pretty sure, and some colleges offer a program specifically for dental hygienist - like a nursing program you know what I mean? I have looked into it before, but theres a long waiting list for the one in my area. I just googled it when I looked.

Answer 2

tell her to get her GED and then to go to her local community college and start taking the general education classes and talk to a counselor. the counselor will explain the whole process of getting into the dental hygiene program. she will graduate with an A.S.
