What's News!
When going to work in a dental office for the first time, it is always important to be up-to-date on
dental hygiene issues and technology.

  • General Supervision – This changed from 7 months to 10 months.

  • Local Anesthesia – As of April 16, 2008, dental hygienists can now administer local
    anesthesia upon completion of a course.  I would encourage you to visit the Virginia
    Board of Dentistry website to ensure the course you take meets the requirements
    needed.

  • Malpractice – Be sure to cover yourself and carry your own insurance.  For less than
    $100 a year you can be protected.

  • Digital Radiographs – It's important to take the time to learn how to take and develop
    digital radiographs.

  • Computer technology – Many offices now use computers in the dental hygiene
    operatory.  Take the time to learn the technology because you will see it in other offices
    as well.
