Dental Hygiene License first issued in 2012

156 of Washington’s 6,089 active dental hygiene license credentials — 2.6% of them — were first issued in 2012.

The 2012 intake, and where it stands now

These 156 people were first credentialled as dental hygiene license during 2012 and are still active today. A first-issue year is the closest thing this register has to a start date: it says when the Department first recognised someone in this role, not how long they have worked in health care.

None of the 156 active credentials in this group carries a disciplinary flag in the Department’s published file.

Do not let the date pass

156 credentials of this type were first issued in 2012. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
