    Description
    program. This course provides clinical practice of oral prophylaxis through practical applications of procedures learned in DHYG 101. In the clinic, students demonstrate various procedures on each other before applying them to patients: children over 5 years old and young adults. Techniques in patient education will be practiced. The lectures include rationale for more difficult traditional dental hygiene skills as students advance from preclinic to DHYG 111 Clinic I. Students are required to complete the minimum number of patients and services required. Clinic updates are addressed for this course during lecture.
