Mesa Community College's Dental Hygiene Program, offers a rigorous and intensive scientific oriented program. The graduates are awarded an Associate in Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene. Graduates are eligible to take the written and clinical exams necessary to obtain state licensure in any state in the US. Patient care is performed in the evenings at A.T. Still University's Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, located just south of the U.S. 60 and Power Road in Mesa. Lecture courses are offered at the Red Mountain Campus in the afternoon.
The mission of the dental hygiene program at Mesa Community College is to develop the next generation of competent health-oriented dental hygienists who are empowered to:
1. Provide comprehensive patient centered care
2. Educate and inspire the community
3. Participate in a holistic approach to lifelong learning.
We will promote the evolution of dental hygiene by exploring (and implementing) new methods and ideas.
