To become a dental hygienist, youâll need either a 2- or 4-year degree in dental hygiene. Most programs are two years long and lead to an associateâs degree. They are offered through community colleges and technical colleges.
Dental Hygienist Education and Training Requirements. Dental hygienists receive their education through academic programs at community colleges, technical colleges, dental schools or universities. The majority of community college programs take at least two years to complete, with graduates receiving associate degrees. Receipt of this degree allows a hygienist to take licensure examinations (national and state or regional), become licensed and to work in a dental office. University-based dental hygiene programs may offer baccalaureate and master's degrees, which generally require at least two years of further schooling.
