Turn Smiles Into Opportunities

Dental hygienists are amongst the most in-demand professionals in the United States. An aging population, expanded access to health and dental insurance, and new research on the importance of oral health has driven this demand, and it shows no signs of slowing any time soon.

As an online program, you can work on your classes when and where it works for you! The flexibility and convenience of online classes can be a game changer.

It is important to note that our online Dental Hygiene program is designed for students that have already completed an associate degree in Dental Hygiene.
