Course lectures for this introductory study of the concepts and techniques of delivering intraoral anesthesia are provided online and coordinated with clinical practice. Emphasis is on the prediction and prevention of medical complications. Curriculum includes head and neck anatomy, armamentarium, pharmacology, neurophysiology, patient evaluation and management, record keeping and risk management.

The goal is to safely select and administer adequate local anesthesia for use in painless periodontal treatment. Course consists of 24 lecture hours and 24 clinical hours in which students practice injection techniques under the supervision of a NH-licensed dentist and qualified dental hygienist. Upon successful completion of the course, the ADEX exam, and obtaining a NH permit, hygienists will be qualified to administer local anesthesia according to NH law.

This is a hybrid course with self-paced online modules. The modules can be completed early on or spread out during the time remaining from the date of registration. The clinical portion would be scheduled with the instructor to join an on campus lab currently in progress with the Dental Hygiene students.

REFRESHER Fact Sheet 2026

This hybrid course was prepared for dental hygienists who have been out of practice for a time and want to get back into the field or for those who are practicing, but feel their skills need updating.

The course is designed to review theory and techniques learned in dental hygiene school and on the job. Current “best practices” will be introduced, but specialized procedures will not be covered in great detail and, in some cases, will require additional courses.

Program Goals:

• Dental Hygiene Process of Care
• Definitive Oral Prophylaxis
• Radiographic Techniques
• Review of Current Center for Disease Control (CDC) Guidelines
• Review of Hand Instrumentation including Ultrasonics

Course objectives are met through didactic and clinical instruction which will introduce, update, and review current techniques in the practice of dental hygiene.

Program Outcomes: 

Participants who complete the course can be assured they have had the opportunity to learn the most up to date, science-based theory and techniques. The program satisfies the criteria of the NH Board of Dental Examiners when a refresher course is mandated for hygienists who want to renew their active dental hygiene license. 

CEUs: 20

Program Description:

• Online Assessment and Review of Theory (2)
  • Must be completed prior to attending clinical portion.
• Clinical Review (18)
  • 3-hour lab session to review hand instruments and the ultrasonic tips on a typodont
  • 4-hour clinic session
  • 2-hour radiology review

The online portion needs to be completed before the start of the scheduled hands-on sessions. 

The scheduling of this course will be based upon faculty availability. Students are expected to provide one client for the clinical portion of the course.

Required Materials:

Students will need a variety of Gracey curettes, scalers (universal, sickle), and a typodont to practice instrumentation. Instrumentation is to be practiced weekly on a typodont. If needed, instruments may be available on a loaner basis (for an additional fee).
