If you want to work in dental hygiene you will need to be licensed by the State where you practice. This is not work you can learn from experience alone and you will need to graduate from an accredited program and then pass both written and clinical exams to get your license. A program in dental hygiene will give the wide-ranging study of general medical and specialized dental topics required to make you a skilled professional.
If you want to work in this field, it is not a matter of whether you sign up for a program, but only which one you choose. Career prospects are good, so your study will be well rewarded.
