The Dental Clinic Wants You!
Or maybe someone you know …
NHTI's Dental Hygiene Clinic needs patients! The clinic provides comprehensive client-centered care to its patients, while providing our students with an excellent learning experience. Our students have been educated and evaluated to laboratory and clinical competency prior to treating clients in the clinic. Students are closely supervised and evaluated as client assessment and treatment progresses.
The clinic is looking for patients to treat, particularly for the spring semester. Without patients, our Dental Hygiene students cannot complete the requirements for their degrees!
