The Dental Sciences Department at Horry-Georgetown Technical College is comprised of the Dental Hygiene Associate Degree program, the Dental Assisting Diploma program, and the Health Science Certificate program.  The Health Science Certificate program is designed to allow students to take their general education courses prior to entering either the Dental Assisting or Dental Hygiene programs.

Students in both programs receive an education in a modern, well-equipped on-Campus dental clinic, under the direct supervision of licensed dentists and hygienists.  

Both programs undergo accreditation from an outside agency. The American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation has reviewed both programs and they have received full accreditation with the status of "approval without reporting requirements."
