Dental Hygiene
Have you ever seen the way that a perfect smile can change a
person’s life? Are you the kind of person who can help calm and soothe others
during times of minor stress? Do you have that gentle touch, easy way of
talking, and the desire to create a perfect smile? Danville Community College
has partnered with Virginia Western Community College to bring dental hygiene
education to our region. Students attend classes through lectures provided
through VTEL instruction and are supervised for clinical instruction in the new
DCC dental clinic. While students take all courses at DCC they
are actually registered as VWCC students. VWCC admits a class of twelve students
every two years.
