In DHPR 5506 students will provide care and services within the Dental Hygiene scope of practice, working both independently and collaboratively with Dental Hygiene and Dental Assisting students. Emphasis will be placed on applying Dental Hygiene process concepts, knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment in client care. Students will demonstrate appropriate selection of local anesthetic agents and practice injection techniques through mock scenarios. The course will also introduce orthodontic procedures. Throughout, students will continue to apply the dental hygiene process across a range of client experiences, varying by age and complexity.
