Hello, I am having a hard time figuring out the best schooling option for me. I currently have an Associates Degree in Arts and Science and am looking to continue my education as a Dental Hygienist. My questions are as follows,
1. Can I go directly into a Bachelors of Dental Hygiene or do I need a specific Dental Hygiene Associates Degree to apply?
2. Is it smarter to do the 9 month program to become a Dental Assistant furthering my education to a Hygienist after the Assistant program?
3. Can I get my schooling online? I know I can as a Assistant Degree however I don't think I can to become a Hygienist. Any recommendation?
4. Can anyone give me any general advice that will help with this journey? I am desiring the fastest route even if it is more pricey.
Thank you so much for any & all advice!
Also, Is there a reason when I "google" Dental Hygienist it always gives me Dental Assistant? Is there something I don't know?
