Becoming a Dental Hygienist
Dental hygienists are integral to a dental team providing care based on disease prevention. WVU's Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene program offers unique opportunities and benefits.
Oral Health Our Priority
We offer a Doctor of Dental Surgery, Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene, and advanced education in Endodontics, Orthodontics, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The small class size allows students a more personalized educational experience.
Pediatric Dentistry
Developing a Residency
We are upgrading and expanding our pediatric dental clinic in preparation for a new residency program that will help meet oral health care needs for a growing number of Mountain State children.
Purposeful Partnerships
As a land grant University, it is upon us to advance education, healthcare and prosperity for all. Through unique service learning opportunities, School of Dentistry students learn the needs of the state and how to work in diverse settings as oral health advocates.
Outreach and Advocacy
School of Dentistry students must accumulate 100 hours or more of community engagement work prior to graduation. They have opportunities to work with the school's more than 30 service projects that match their interests.
Your generous contributions enable our students to continue learning and touching the lives of people throughout the state of West Virginia. If you'd like to help advance the field of dentistry, please consider making a gift to the School of Dentistry.
