There are 2 types of degrees for a hygienist ...  you can get an associate's degree which generally takes about 2 years to obtain or you can get a bachelor's degree which generally takes about 4 years to obtain.  Either way, contact a college to find out about the course outline.

A B.S. will require more coursework in biology, and carries a little more prestige.  The B.A. will give you more time to study in other fields.  You need to decide what you are interested in.  The coursework itself is only part of your education.  Talk to a dentist, especially one affiliated with a dental school, for more advice on what dental schools want.

That answer depends on what you take before grade school and after high school. Assuming you had Pre-School and you are going to a 4-year University for a BA, then you would have gone through 18 total years of school.\n\nHow to figure? Add the usual 1-12, Kindergarten (1 year), Pre-school (1 year), and either of the following:\n\n> Associate's Degree (2 years)\n> Bachelor's Degree  (2 Years)\n> Master's Degree    (4 Years)\n> Ph.D.              (6-8 years)

To get your M.D. or D.O. you need a minimum of 8 years of school, four years of undergraduate and four years of Professional (medical) school. In very rare occasions, you can be accepted to a medical school before earning your undergraduate degree, but this is extremely, rare (I mean extremely).

i believe that dentistry takes the shortest time (5 yrs+ 1 practical training) but i guess it differs from one place to another. but i have to warn u that it's not easy. my fiance is a dentist and it's hard for both of us to handle it. if u want to literally help people, go for red cross. many of them require u to know first aid only and u can master that in a couple of short courses.\n\ngood luck:)

Check your local area for a 'College of Dentistry and/or 'Dental Hygienists'. Schools are usually looking for patients for their students to practice on. The appointment time will last longer than a fully-trained Dentist, however there is usually little or no charge. The student will also be under the guidance of their instructor, so no, you won't be left with someone 'unqualified'. Good luck!

Hello,\n\n     2 years used to be possible in the U.S. or Canada,(graduated certificate), but now most institutions offer that program in collaboration with a M.Sc.D. These programs are excellent and have formed a lot of leaders in orthodontics. In Europe, Norway, Sweden and France are know to have good programs. While Norwegian and Swedish programs extend normally over a period of three years, in France it can be much longer. The cost of living in any of these countries (especially Scandinavia) are high and may not be suitable for you.\n\nA 2-years "good and cheap" orthodontics program is probably not a reality... Before you get involved in any program, check with your national board if you'll be entitle to work as an orthodontist after your education!

Depends how hard you study and how many classes you can pass. Many clinical hours. If you want to be an LVN and pass meds and wipe butts, it only takes a year.
