If i go to school to be a dental assistant am i a step closer to becoming a dental hygienist?
Asked by Jennifer
I found a school that i can afford and become a dental assistant in 6 months which is perfect since i am expecting my first child in 6 months... but i want to become a dental hygienist... if i go to this school would i still have to go to school separately to become a hygienist?

Best Answer:
The only advantage you will have is experience. The classes are totally different.
Hygiene school is 4 years. 2 years to get your associates in applied science and 2 years in the hygiene program itself.
You don't "need" to be an assistant first.

of course! you always need to work your way up to things like that and you are more guaranteed to get into school to be a dental hygienist or get a job as one if you have had other experience.
