Dental Hygiene
The Dental Hygiene program at Columbus State is designed to prepare graduates for
successful entry into the oral health profession. The dental hygienist is a member
of the dental health team and provides a variety of quality oral hygiene services
including health education, prevention, and treatment of oral disease to a wide variety
of patients.
The Columbus State dental hygiene program emphasizes the didactic and clinical skills
required to meet the ever-changing oral health care needs. Admission to the program
is both limited and selective. Graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for
the state, regional and national examinations for licensure. The Ohio State Dental
Board requires a full FBI background check for initial application for licensure.
In Ohio, licensure from the Ohio State Dental Board is needed for employment.
