almost certain that it will pay more .........
Reply:The bachelor's degree will look better, but beware...





like in LA...I went to USC for a while for their dental hygiene program. But offices and their staff used to say that they didn't like USC students because they weren't as trained as West LA college students in dental hygiene were. It seemed to some doctors that the dental hygiene program at WLAC was a 2 year program that focused on the 'hands on, real world" duties, while the USC program was not as in depth but was a more like a 2 year promo for their Dentistry school....





IDK where you are thinking of going, but just research...
Reply:Clinically, you can perform the same duties. I have my associates in dental hygiene and I have no restrictions clinically compared to a hygienist with a bachelors. It may just sound better.





Where I'm from- it's the same story. The bachelor's program is more of a prep to promote their dental program- they put more emphasis on their dental students, not the hygienists. My school offers the associates and has an AWESOME program and reputation compared to that of the dental school.
