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.
