Question

Sharee has worked as a receptionist in a dental office for a few years. She would like to become a dental hygienist because the work seems interesting and it pays more than she currently makes. What kind of education might Sharee look for?

(a.) internship at another dentist's office
(b.) apprenticeship under the current hygienist
(c.) associate degree in dental hygiene
(d.) doctorate degree in dentistry

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": associate degree in dental hygiene.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dental hygienists are responsible for taking care of dental patients' hygiene under the supervision of a dentist. Dental hygienists examine patients' mouths to provide preventive instructions on how to take care of their teeth and gums. Dental hygienists can obtain a bachelor's degree after studying four (4) years in college but they can obtain their degree faster through an associate's in dental hygiene.
