How can i become a dental hygienist?!
Question:
How can i become a dental hygienist?
I am a foreign dentist from over seas and i currently live in US California. I have passed the dental board part one exam. I would like to become a dentist here in America but the ADA stated that while someone is studying to become a dentist he/she can work as a dental hygienist. Can someone please tell me where to turn to?
(sorry for the unorthodox question)
Answers:
As a dentist myself, I recommend the first place you should turn to is the California Secretary of State office, ask to speak to someone concerning licensing requirements for your state and someone there should be able to answer your questions or will give you the number of someone who can. Good luck, its always nice to meet a fellow dentist!
