Help protect the gateway to the body

The health of the mouth can affect the health of the entire body. Infection and inflammation of the teeth and gums can have long-term systemic consequences. In our B.S. in Dental Hygiene program, — one of the finest dental hygiene programs in the U.S. — you will learn just how important the dental hygienist is to patients’ overall health and will acquire the in-classroom knowledge and hands-on expertise you need for success in this highly rewarding field.

You will learn important prevention and detection skills as you become both a knowledgeable practitioner and a guardian of your patients’ health. You’ll also:

Learn about the latest advances in dental hygiene standards and infection control
Gain experience with modern treatment stations and techniques
Benefit from cutting-edge virtual instruction programs
Experience modern digital radiology and dental materials laboratories
Learn from experienced faculty with vast clinical experience
Apply what you learn while working with patients at the University of New Haven Dental Center – which has been called "a tremendous hidden gem" – and other internship sites
