Is there a dress code for the dental hygiene program?
Yes, there is a dress code for the dental hygiene program.
The dentist can begin practicing by wearing a white laboratory coat. He is supposed to wear white professional shoes. Since the dentist deals with the oral health of the person, he needs to make sure that his clinic is clean and he himself should maintain personal hygiene. http://www.daltechsystems.com.
Yes. Dental hygienists 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 hygiene 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 piercings. The only jewelry allowed is a watch and engagement ring and/or wedding band. When working aboard Camp Lejeune no hand jewelry is allowed.
