Can i be a dental hygienist and work in the Dentists office just after having a 2 years Associate degree in Dental Hygiene?? or do i need a 4 years bachelors degree?
what are the starting salary of a Dental Hygienist? is it different for ones with bachelors degree and ones with associate degree? how high can the salary go??
Associate degree or Bachelors in Dental hygiene in USA?
The dental hygiene programs in my area are two years and you get an Associates degree with your certification through the state that you live in. I have not seen any requirements of a 4 year program. I know that once you are done with the two years, typically you are required to attend seminars and training to keep up your skills.
Starting pay in my area is about 60,000; not bad for a two year degree. Potential is unlimited. My brothers sister in law has been working for about 5 years with the same dentist and is making well over 100,000 with her bonuses.
Hope this helps.
