The rising Department of Dental Hygiene senior students are currently scattered throughout the state of West Virginia for several weeks of  rural rotation to gain knowledge and experience in rural dental hygiene practice. (photos below) While those students are away for the summer semester, the upcoming junior students are treating clients in the large clinic and learning key skills for the upcoming semester. Best of luck to our upperclassmen in their last few weeks of summer clinic and rural rotation!

As always, junior and senior dental hygiene students are seeking new patients and will begin seeing clients during the last week of August. If you’re interested, please contact the school at 304-293-6208 and ask for an appointment with a dental hygiene student who will ensure you receive personalized, professional dental care.

Be on the lookout for new attire worn by our dental hygiene students in August! A professional and stylish new uniform will be making an appearance in the upcoming semester with new colors, embroidery, and more!
