Is there a dress code for the dental assisting program?
Yes. Dental assistants are dental health professionals and their attire and appearance should reflect this. Complete guidelines are located in the Policies and Procedures Manual found in the Current Students section of this web page. Briefly, dental assisting students must wear clean, pressed scrubs, gowns, and clean clinic shoes when working in the clinic. Hair must be secured away from the face. Students are not allowed to wear earrings or have visible body piercing. The only jewelry allowed is a watch and engagement ring and/or wedding band. When working aboard Camp Lejeune no hand jewelry is allowed.
