Expansion of RDH Development is in progress so check back frequently!

Spring 2009 is off to a great start with the final push for the Senior class and the first semester of seeing patients for the Juniors. The immediate goal for the Class of 2009 is the National Dental Hygiene Board examination that will be take place on March 24th at Loma Linda. We all wish them success and know that they are prepared to pass with flying colors.

The Class of 2010 will be starting their clinic sessions and putting all their newly learned instrumentation skills to good use. Prior to taking their competencies the first week back, they should review the basic instrumentation videos on the web site using their typodonts. This will help them get up to speed and fine tune those techniques that were worked so hard on during last semester.

Good luck to all.
