Clinical Dental Hygiene
Clinical Dental Hygiene is the portion of the dental hygiene curriculum focused on developing the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills necessary for the delivery of preventive, educational, and therapeutic services to the public. The delivery of patient-centered comprehensive care is accomplished through adherence to the process of care: assessment of patient needs, formulation of a dental hygiene diagnosis, planning for the prevention and treatment of oral disease, implementation of various dental hygiene interventions (services) and evaluation of both the patient and practitioner efforts and oral health outcomes. The patient care experiences are required for all students in order to attain clinical competence and to complete the dental hygiene program. This education is provided in the program's clinical facilities as defined in the Accreditation Standards and is supervised and evaluated by program faculty according to predetermined criteria.
Definitions:
Clinical Dental Hygiene: Primary Educational Goals

A high standard of conduct is expected of all Amarillo College students. The Student Code of Conduct is defined in the Amarillo College Student Rights and Responsibilities publication. The document may be located at www.actx.edu under the student tab. "Amarillo college expects a high standard of conduct from its students. Students are expected to comply with the law, respect proper constitutional authority, and obey College policies, rules and regulations. Unacceptable conduct is defined as an action or behavior that is contrary to the best interest of a fellow student or students, the faculty or staff, the College, or the teaching/learning process. Students failing to perform according to established standards may be subject to disciplinary action. Policies, standards, rules, and regulations apply to students attending College activities whether the activity takes place on or off-campus. Each student shall be responsible for becoming knowledgeable of the contents and provisions of College policies, rules, and regulations concerning student conduct. In some cases, individual programs may have approved policies for student conduct which guide the actions of each member of the college community both in and out of the classroom. Integrity and common sense will guide the actions of each member of the college community both in and out of the classroom. Any student who fails to perform according to expected standards may be disciplined".
The Amarillo College Dental Hygiene Program has specific policies which apply to student conduct within the program. These policies may be implied or written. The course syllabus and the program manual are sources for specific student conduct policies for dental hygiene students at Amarillo College.
Professional Standards
All dental hygiene students are expected to demonstrate professionalism in behavior, manner, and judgment in the dental hygiene clinic and clinic rotation sites. The area of professionalism includes appearance, asepsis, patient management, peer, faculty and staff interaction, and documentation. Guidelines for professionalism and professional appearances are discussed in the AC Dental Hygiene Clinic Manual. Professionalism will be evaluated on a continual basis.
Students will exhibit professional maturity and an acceptable level of clinical judgment as determined by the clinical faculty. Unprofessional behavior will be documented in written form by the faculty to the Clinic Coordinator. Unprofessional behavior may be defined as a continual pattern of misconduct and/or an egregious act that endangers the health of the patients, students, faculty, and/or College. Egregious acts also include violations of the Texas Dental Hygiene Practice Act and falsification of patient records and/or faculty signatures.
Students must be competent in the application of the principles of ethical reasoning, ethical decision making, and professional responsibility as they pertain to patient care. Dental hygienists should understand and practice ethical behavior consistent with the professional code of ethics throughout their educational experiences. The following are examples which are considered professional standards. These are representative examples and may not be all-inclusive. For maximum learning to occur, the student is expected to demonstrate professional conduct and judgment at all times.
Safety: Individual Responsibility
This course supports the Amarillo College policies regarding responsibility for a safe environment.
Amarillo College is in compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations, and therefore requires that all AC employees, students, and visitors comply to maintain a safe environment:
Statement of Confidentiality
Confidentiality is the duty owed by dental hygiene professionals, including students enrolled in Dental Hygiene accredited programs, to protect the privacy of all patient information. Dental Hygiene professionals clearly have an obligation to keep MEDICAL and PERSONAL information about patients in the strictest confidence at all times. Unless disclosure is mandated by patient consent, statute, a duty to inform third parties, or special circumstances, dental hygiene professionals have a clear duty to maintain the confidentiality of all patient information.
Breach of the duty to hold such information in the strictest confidence may cause liability for the individual student such as fines, imprisonment, and dismissal from the program. In the professional "Code of Ethics", the American Dental Hygienists' Association Code of Ethics for Dental Hygienists has published the following statement which all dental hygiene professionals (including students) must always follow :
"We respect the confidentiality of client information and relationships as a demonstration of the value we place on individual autonomy. We acknowledge our obligation to justify any violation of confidence."
Instructor Help and Student Participation
It is very important that you seek faculty input regarding your performance so that you may:
All students are considered mature enough to seek faculty assistance and to monitor their own progress. Please meet with your assigned instructor or Clinic Coordinator as soon as possible if you have any questions or difficulties in this course. The faculty is committed to supporting your success; please remember, however, that you are the only person who can make us aware that you need assistance.
Amarillo College Dental Hygiene Mentoring Program
The student has a very important role in the mentoring process. Each student will be assigned a mentor at the beginning of the semester. The mentor/mentee list will be posted in the locker room and emailed to each student. As partners in the mentoring relationship, students have responsibilities to:
It is the student’s responsibility to contact mentors and arrange appointments. Failure to arrange and /or keep appointments will result in a two-point deduction from the final clinical course grade for each occurrence in the semester.
Mandatory Skills Building/Tutoring
In an effort to increase student success in DHYG courses, and to assist students having difficulty understanding complex subject areas, any student who scores below a 75% on any exam (excluding the final exam) must complete a mandatory skills-building assignment before taking the next exam. Before receiving a skills assignment, you must first schedule a time with the instructor. The assignment will be given at that time.
Clinic Remediation Policy
Remediation defined is the act or process of remedying. Students should not fear this word or this policy. Remediation is available to address calculus removal, calculus detection, tissue trauma, radiographs, instrument selection, hand instrumentation, ultrasonic instrumentation, environment, probing, fulcrum, grasp, and adaptation. Students may also request this from a clinical instructor and an instructor may request this for a student as well. All skill evaluations including Mock Boards will require a 75% to achieve Mastery. If 75% is not achieved remediation will be mandatory to demonstrate competency. The initial grade will stand. The Clinical Instructor will fill out a Student Remediation Form and the student will sign upon completion.
Course Failure-Remediation Policy
If you fail to attain the required minimum requirements for Clinic III and have less than 3 absences during the semester, an I (Incomplete) may be given. The “I” (Incomplete) will be removed and a grade of “C” will be given for the course after you have completed the required work. If an “I” is received in the first (spring) semester, it must be removed by the end of the first four weeks of the following second (summer) semester. If an “I” (incomplete) is received in the summer session, it must be removed during the fall session before you can register for the subsequent academic year. If you fail to remove the “I” grade from your record in the allotted time, a grade of “F” will be posted automatically. No “I”s can be given the final semester before graduation.
The Clinic Manual
The Dental Hygiene Clinic Manual contains information pertaining to but not limited to the following:
Electronic and Recording Devices
In order to maximize learning, all electronic recording devices and cell phones are prohibited in this course. If a student is caught with a cell phone in hand, in a uniform pocket or in the clinic bay, actively texting, talking, or surfing the internet during a clinic session, the student will immediately be dismissed from the Clinic and will receive a grade of “0” for the patient session or rotation, as well as an absence for the day. This includes the use of cell phones in the hallways outside the clinic bays, on all rotations and anywhere in the clinic. The only approved area for cell phone use is in the locker room before or after the clinic. Those students who have children or who anticipate an emergency situation should give caretakers and family members the Office Supervisor’s phone number (806-354-6050) or the clinic supervisor at 467-4099 and have calls directed to her first. She will then act accordingly to inform the student. Patient care should not be interrupted unless a student is alerted from the Office Supervisor regarding an emergency. Your children will not be allowed in the clinic. Please, no exceptions.
TalEval & Blackboard
Students can communicate with clinical faculty and check their progress in the clinic through the web-based system TalEval. Blackboard is a web-based learning management system provided by Amarillo College. Students can access their grades through blackboard as well as many resources for this course.

Make Up Policy
A student will not be allowed to make up quizzes or online assignments. A zero will be given for each missed quiz or online assignment.
Attendance Policy
Attendance
“Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to attend class in accordance with the requirements of the course as established by the instructor” (Amarillo College Student’s Rights and Responsibilities Publication, http://catalog.actx.edu/content.php?catoid=18&navoid=813#Academic_Information). Due to the tremendous amount of information contained in this course, the student who plans to succeed should also plan to attend all course sessions regularly and promptly. Without question, the instructor expects each student to be present at each session. Unfortunately, no one has ever developed a short cut to replace hours of actual experience needed to master a new skill. Therefore, the student must be present to acquire specific knowledge in this subject.
Absences will be monitored and evaluated to determine the student’s final course grade. The student may have no more than 1 absence in this course without affecting the final grade. Beginning with the 2nd absence, 2 points will be deducted from the final grade; on the 3rd absence, 3 points will be deducted; on the 4th absence, 4 points will be deducted. On the occurrence of the 5th absence, the student will fail the course and be required to repeat the course. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each lecture and lab session. Students who are not present when attendance is taken will be counted as absent. The student is expected to be present in class at the time the class or lab is scheduled to begin.
STUDENTS WHO ARE LATE TO CLASS OR LAB, OR WHO LEAVE CLASS OR LAB EARLY, WILL BE COUNTED AS ABSENT. (“Late” is defined as the student not being in his/her seat and ready for the class to start at the scheduled class time.)
The student will receive 2 bonus points to the final grade of this course if the student has perfect attendance for the semester.
Attendance records will be kept on a daily basis during the semester. Any absence from the clinic or scheduled rotation(s) must be reported to the Clinic Coordinator first via email (Amanda Lester-Chisum> ajlester21@actx.edu) and then the Clinic Supervisor via email (Mitzi Leonard >m0067781@actx.edu). Mrs. Leonard’s number is 467-3099. Each student is required to complete a minimum number of clinic hours and requirements in order to graduate from the dental hygiene program. If a student does not report an absence, the student will be required to type a two-page report on professionalism and turn in to the Clinic Coordinator. A Critical Error in TalEval will be given for each day the paper is late. The deadline for submission of the paper is no later than 24 hours after the absenteeism.
Students who are not present when attendance is taken in Morning Report will be counted as absent. A student will receive 2 bonus points to the final clinic grade for perfect attendance. Arriving late or leaving clinic/rotation early will result in a critical error in TalEval. (Item #122) In the clinic, students must log in to the computer no later than 8:30 am and log out no earlier than 12:00 pm. After lunch the student must log back in no later than 12:45 pm and log out no earlier than 4:00 pm as a record of his/her attendance. Student’s that do not log in or out of Eaglesoft correctly will need to email Mrs. Leonard and request a correction. You are allowed 5 corrections in a semester before you will receive 1 absent for the sixth correction. Also, students who leave early without special permission from a faculty member will be counted as absent. The clinic supervisor will monitor student time logged in at the computers in the clinic and will report this information to the faculty.
Absences Defined:
Example for Bonus Points:
The student has a final clinic average of 91% = B Student attends all scheduled clinics, classes and rotations on time. Final Clinic Grade = 93% = A
