About Dental Therapy

What Is a Dental Therapist?

A dental therapist is a mid-level dental provider holding a Bachelor's degree in Dental Hygiene and a Master's degree in Dental Therapy. This additional education allows them to perform a wider range of procedures previously performed only by dentists.

Dental therapists help expand access to affordable dental care, especially in rural areas.
