BACKGROUND

Specific dental hygiene licensure requirements vary among jurisdictions, but all jurisdictions have three types of requirements: an educational requirement, a written examination requirement and a clinical examination requirement. Almost all jurisdictions accept graduates of dental hygiene programs accredited directly by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association as fulfilling the educational requirement. Most jurisdictions also accept graduates of Canadian dental hygiene programs that are accredited by the Canadian Dental Association.

The National Board Dental Hygiene Examination is intended to fulfill or partially fulfill the written examination requirement, but acceptance of National Board scores is completely at the discretion of the individual state. A state may place any limit on acceptance of National Board scores that it deems appropriate.

The Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations is the agency responsible for the development and administration of the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination. This 15-member Commission includes representatives of dental schools, dental practice, state dental examining boards, dental hygiene and the public. A standing committee of the Joint Commission includes other dental hygienists who act as consultants regarding this examination.
