Dental accreditations and degrees are currently available at two-year colleges nationwide--including the farthest reaches of Alaska--pointing to an industry very much in demand. This article discusses dental assistant and dental hygienist degree programs at institutions in California, South Dakota, Nevada, Kentucky, and Alaska.
