Here are some interesting facts on the UHM Dental Hygiene Program:

  • it is the only dental hygiene education program in the State of Hawaii.

  • parallels the entry-level educational goal (baccalaureate) of the national professional organization, the American Dental Hygienists' Association.

  • is an American Dental Association accredited dental hygiene program with 98.4% of students passing the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination and 90.9% of graduates passing the State Board Dental Hygiene Examination on the first attempt. 100% pass both examinations on the second attempt.

  • provides clinical oral care as well as dental health education to the residents of Hawaii.

  • awards a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene.

  • is attended primarily by women who have a right to access educational opportunities on island, particularly those which are State supported. However, the student body reflects diversity in gender, age, and ethnocultures.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to being in touch again soon!
