Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2006UK - Dental Hygienists
How long does it take to train as a hygienist and what sort of salary does it pay? > How long does it take to train as a hygienist and what sort of salary does > it pay? In the UK, it's a 2 year full-time course to train as a hygienist. The minimum requirements are five GCSEs (grade A to C, including English and a science subject) and either a dental nursing qualification or two "A" levels. A lot of dental hygienists started out as dental nurses. As a rough guide, a hygienist working in an NHS practice can earn around £21,000 a year; with experience this may rise to around £30,000. An experienced hygienist working in a non-NHS practice may earn up to £38,000 (those figures are from a 2005 career guidance catalogue). >> How long does it take to train as a hygienist and what sort of >> salary does it pay?

A lot of dental hygienists started out as dental nurses. Just curious I understand in the UK, it's compulsory to study French as a second language.
