Students completing the dental hygiene program in Ohio take a National Board Dental Hygiene Examination, and a Commission on Dental Competency Assessments examination. Once these examinations have been successfully achieved, application can be made for licensure with the State Dental Board. Since the inception of the dental hygiene program, the vast majority of students choosing to practice dental hygiene have passed these exams.
