Dental Hygiene
Wayne County Community College District’s Dental Hygiene program strives to create a learning environment in which each graduate is instilled with the knowledge, skills and values to provide dental hygiene care to patients, as well as a sense of responsibility to self, the community and the profession. The curriculum for dental hygiene students provides a progression of knowledge and skills as demonstrated by competencies, which are the abilities required by the new dental hygiene graduate to enter the healthcare field as competent entry-level oral healthcare providers.
The Professional Track Program is two years in length, and there are a limited number of openings each year. Prior to acceptance, required prerequisite college courses must be completed. The program begins each fall semester with a cohort of students, and upon successful completion, the college awards an Associate of Science Degree.
We welcome your interest in the dental hygiene program and invite you to stop by the college and visit our dental clinic, or better yet, become a patient and learn more about the program. Appointments may be made by calling (313) 943-4010.
