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.
End-of-Course Outcomes
A health-related work-based learning experience that enables the student to apply specialized occupational theory, skills, and concepts. The instructor's primary role will be to function as a facilitator to aid the student through functional assessment and quality patient-centered treatment of clients. Clinic III is the bridging course from the academic clinical environment to enter into the profession. This competency-based clinical course uses the process of care model of assessment, dental hygiene diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Critical thinking skills, time management, and self-assessment are emphasized for the practical application of dental hygiene theory. Patient cases include medically compromised, advanced complex treatment cases, pediatric, and special needs populations. In the clinical setting, students will serve as patients for their classmates in the clinical setting, complete manikin exercises, treat all patients without discrimination, and attend all assigned rotations.
Method of Instruction
In the clinic setting the ratio of faculty to students never exceeds 1:5. Individual feedback will be provided for the students verbally and in TalEval and Blackboard. Direct observation will be utilized through process performance evaluations, while indirect observation will be used in end-product evaluations.
Morning Report will be held each week to allow discussion of clinical issues and present additional clinical procedures and materials. The forum setting is mandatory. You will be counted absent for the entire day if you do not attend clinic forums. You will also be counted absent if you are not present when the roll is called. Student input is encouraged. When Report is offered virtually, students will be required to use the camera on their computer and be professional in appearance.
Clinical Dental Hygiene: Primary Educational Goals
Clinical dental hygiene experience provides preventive and therapeutic care according to the process of care:
This requires critical thinking and evidence-based decision-making skills that guide the provision of dental hygiene care within a focused scope of practice. Upon the completion of the clinical curriculum, the student will be able to:
Special Learning Objectives
In order to receive your AC Connect Email, you must log in through AC Connect at https://acconnect.actx.edu .
If you are an active staff or faculty member according to Human Resources, use "Exchange". All other students, use "AC Connect (Google) Email".
The Amarillo College Dental Hygiene Program has specific policies that apply to student conduct within the program. These policies may be implied or written. The course syllabi 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 while in the dental hygiene program. 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 Amarillo College Dental Hygiene Program Manual. Professionalism will be evaluated on a continual basis throughout the program.
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. Documentation may also include reporting via the Amarillo College Student Behavior Alert form with the college.
Students must be competent in applying 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. Below are representative examples of professional standards which are not inclusive:
Safety: Individual Responsibility
This course supports Amarillo College policies regarding responsibility for a safe environment.
Amarillo College complies 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 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. The American Dental Hygienists' Association has published the following statement which all dental hygiene professionals (including students) must always follow the "Code of Ethics"
"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
Advising
Mentoring
Clinical instructors play a crucial role in providing mentorship, guidance, and hands-on training to dental hygiene students. They bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, helping students develop the skills and competencies required to become successful dental hygienists.
The essential roles and responsibilities of mentoring:
Overall, clinical instructors in a dental hygiene program play a vital role in shaping the future dental hygienists' clinical skills, professionalism, and overall patient care abilities. They contribute to the education and development of well-rounded and competent dental hygiene professionals.
Assigning clinic instructors as mentors to students in a dental hygiene program is a vital process that contributes to student success and growth. At the beginning of each semester, students will be assigned a new clinic instructor mentor. This consistent practice ensures that students benefit from diverse perspectives and guidance throughout their program.
Email Instructions for Scheduling a Mentor Meeting:
By following these steps, you'll effectively request a mentor meeting through email while being clear, respectful, and considerate of your mentor's schedule.
Mandatory Skills Building/Tutoring
To increase student success in the DHYG assist students with difficulty understanding complex subject areas, any student who scores below a 75% on an exam or clinical competency (excluding the final exam) must complete a mandatory skills-building assignment before taking the next exam. Before receiving the skills assignment, arranging a meeting time with the instructor is necessary. The assignment details will be provided during the meeting.
Student Success Strategy
Opportunities for developing a pathway to success in the dental hygiene program involve a collaborative effort of the student and instructor. The student has the responsibility to achieve the desired outcomes in the course. Success strategies are available to help the student improve clinical skills including but not limited to; calculus removal, calculus detection, tissue trauma, imaging, instrument selection, hand instrumentation, ultrasonic instrumentation, environment, probing, and AC clinic protocols. While the instructor may assign these success strategies, the student may also request an opportunity to improve or guidance in skill development. All skill evaluations, including Mock Boards, will require a 75% to achieve competency. If 75% is not achieved, a completed Success Strategy Ticket will be mandatory to demonstrate competency. The initial grade will stand. The Clinical Instructor will fill out a Student Success Strategy Ticket Form, and the student will sign on acceptance and completion. A lack of effort or evidence of improvement may lead to disciplinary action.
Course Failure-Remediation Policy
If you fail to attain the required minimum requirements for each Clinic and have less than three 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 next 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.

"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). Absences will be monitored and evaluated to determine a student's final course grade. A student with less than 90% attendance in class or lab may fail the course. Students are responsible for reporting to the clinic on time and in compliance with clinical attire. Students are required to complete 100% of clinical hours. Clinical experience is an essential component of student success; absenteeism jeopardizes the completion of the course. Clinical absences must be reported to the clinic coordinator prior to clinic. Failure to notify the clinical coordinator prior to clinic may result in failure of the course. Students who arrive late to the clinic may be asked to leave as arrival time is necessary to provide appropriate patient care, which also applies to leaving early. Clinical absences will be made up at the discretion of the instructor. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the respective instructor regarding make-up assignments. Failure to do so will result in failure to meet the course outcomes. After an illness, a physician's statement may be required. Clinic Attendance is tracked through Eaglesoft. Students are expected to clock in and out independently.
A student will receive 1 bonus point to the final clinic grade for perfect attendance, with a prior passing minimum average of 75%.
Eaglesoft Time Management
Under the supervision of Ms. Hernandez, our administrative assistant, student time management in Eaglesoft is closely monitored. Students are required to adhere to the following guidelines:
Clinic Arrival and Departure: Students should log in to the computer no later than 30 minutes before the start of their clinic session and log out no earlier than the scheduled end time. There is one exception to this rule, which occurs on days with both morning and clinic sessions. After the lunch break, students must log back in no later than 12:10 pm.
Technical Errors in Eaglesoft: If students encounter technical errors in Eaglesoft, they should promptly contact Ms. Hernandez via email and request a correction. Each student is permitted up to five corrections per semester. Upon the sixth correction request, an absence will be recorded.
Early Departures: Students must obtain special permission from a faculty member before leaving the clinic early. Failure to do so will result in the day being counted as an absence.
Additionally, it's important to note the following:
Morning Report Attendance: Students are expected to log in and out for Morning Report every Monday from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. Being late for either Morning Report or Clinic can result in receiving a critical error in TalEval or absence.
These guidelines are in place to ensure efficient clinic operations and to support you in your clinical training.
Reporting an Absence: Immediately email Mrs. Chisum (Clinic Coordinator) and CC (copy) the email to Mrs. Leonard (Clinic Supervisor), Ms. Rubalcaba (Office Supervisor) and Ms. Hernandez (Administrative Assistant).

This website was created to assist Amarillo employees and students. Many times, students come to us with individual concerns/situations that need to be addressed in order for the student to be successful in school.
This website can be used to find those needed resources for our students and their families. Feel free to copy any of this information for a student and to refer students as needed.
Our goal is to provide as much information as possible for employees and students to be able to access campus and community resources when needed. There are many more resources in this community that are not listed on these pages. Some of these agencies and programs will change; so if you call and cannot get assistance or cannot access a broken link, please contact me for more updated information.
This website will be updated as often as possible; therefore most will be current. If the resources listed do not serve the needs you have or if you have any questions concerning this website, please call or email: Jordan Herrera, LMSW, Coordinator of Social Services, 806-371-5439, http://jordan@actx.edu.
