Middlesex Dental Hygiene Students Ace National Board Exams
Recent Dental Hygiene grads earned a 100-percent first-time pass rate on the National Dental Hygiene Board, which leads to licensure
Recent graduates of Middlesex Community College’s Dental Hygiene Program earned a 100-percent first-time pass rate on the National Dental Hygiene Board, which leads to licensure of oral-health care professionals.
“We are so proud of our Dental Hygiene graduates,” said Karen Townsend, Dental Hygiene Program Director. “It’s quite an accomplishment for a graduating class to all pass their national boards on the first attempt. This is a testament to our outstanding faculty members, who are dedicated to student success, and to the hard work of the future dental hygienists we are training.”
MCC’s Dental Hygiene Associate in Science degree program is designed to prepare competent dental-hygiene professionals, capable of providing quality care in a variety of settings within a changing health care system and a culturally diverse society.
