I am internationl dentist coming from syria . I moved to USA because of the situation in my country . Does anyone have any idea about how can I get a hygienist license ?
I do not know where you got your sources from, but the information they provided to you is incorrect.
The only way a foreign-trained dentist can practice hygiene in US is by getting licensed, and only way to do that is by graduating for a DH program, which is 2 years(associate degree level). But you would also have to take pre-requisite course, which will take at least 1 more additional year. So you are looking at about 3 years before you can start practicing dental hygiene here.
My sources are foreign trained dentists who are already working as a hygienist and as dentists in the state of Florida! Laws change every year and differ from state to state.
