Dental Hygiene

Dental Hygiene is a nationally accredited three-year advanced diploma program offered at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Regina Campus. Problem-solving and critical thinking skills are vital because a big part of the job is effectively assessing clients and providing treatment plans. Lifelong learning is also important as Hygienists participate in continuing education to stay abreast of changes in technology and techniques.

Classroom and lab work combined with clinical experiences and health promotion activities prepare students to deliver a high standard of service in the assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation of dental hygiene care.
