Student Cases for Online Study

Dental hygienists are a community of professionals devoted to the prevention of oral disease and the promotion and improvement of the public's health. Dental hygienists are preventive oral health professionals who provide educational, clinical, and therapeutic services to the public. 

As a healthcare professional, a dental hygienist is called on to know a wide range of information related to patient health and disease. These links and the information they discuss only begin to show the range needed as a dental professional working in patient care! 

Student dental hygienists, browse through the over 200 sites of interest to you listed below by Margaret.  Be sure to also check out the DH links page for even more in-depth information on research, patient care, and dental professional associations. Also check out an outline on the ASA PHYSICAL STATUS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Board Review by using a Coloring Book of Dental Anatomy

Coloring is being used in formal therapeutic settings such as eye-hand coordination development and to help heal victims of trauma.  Studies also show that coloring can reduce stress. Regardless of your needs, there is so much to be gained by spending some time coloring. Choosing your colors and the gentle, repetitive motion of your hand as you bring color to paper helps quiet your mind--bringing your usual rapid-fire thoughts down to a much slower pace. So take a break from your studies and find your creative center! 

"I LOVE the dental anatomy coloring book you designed!! I wish I had something like this when I was in DH school. The pictures and the quality of the pages is fantastic.  It is a great and relaxing way for students to learn the anatomy!"

Tooth Drawings Up On Internet???

Would it not be great to have your tooth drawings up on the Evolve site for Illustrated Dental Embryology, Histology, and Anatomy (Saunders/Elsevier)?  They must be a copy of original work, must use the Workbook that accompanies the textbook, and have a note saying that they can go up on the website sent along with the drawing. Do not send the original but sign them really large so we can see who the artist is and from what school they are attending!!! Send them by regular mail, or fax, or send a jpg by email after scanning them to:
