Will my credits from Dental assisting transfer to a dental hygiene program?
No - I'm in dental hygiene school right now. We have many former dental assistants in our class. They have valuable experience to help them in the course, but one must take all of the required courses to finish school. Hygiene Schools are doing their best to prepare you for the national boards and for your career, so it's best to take ALL of the courses anyways. If you have taken any basic pre-requisite courses such as Introductory Chemistry, Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology, and you are transfering into a Bachelors program, you may be able to transfer those credits. It all depends on your level of education.
Reply:From my experience--NO. Dental Hygiene classes are specific to hygiene concepts and instrumentation techniques. Though your experience as an assistant will help you in school, and some classes may be easier than others, there are many things that are very different and covered in more detail. No hygiene program would let you transfer courses because they are not the same. There is no way that you could know the information being covered in hygiene classes until you take them.
