Dental Hygiene

If you are interested in health, working with people and healthcare, the Higher Technician in Oral Hygiene programme prepares you to work directly in dental clinics and health centres as a specialist in oral health. You will learn both the theory and clinical practice needed to play an essential role alongside dentists and stomatologists.

• Oral hygiene, prophylaxis and scaling techniques
• Oral health education and prevention
• Dental radiology and use of clinical equipment
• Patient care and teamwork in healthcare
• Hands-on placements in dental clinics during the programme

After completing the programme, you will be ready to enter the workforce as a dental hygienist, a profession in high demand with an increasingly recognised role in the healthcare system.
