Individuals should give careful consideration to the mental and physical demands of the program prior to applying. The pressure involved in undertaking the responsibilities of direct patient care should be considered upon applying to the program.
Individuals should understand that many procedures performed by a dental hygienist expose them to blood-borne pathogens requiring strict adherence to infection control protocols. In addition, it is an important educational experience to participate as a patient in pre-clinic and in the pain control lab.
