Frances Huff · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": associate degree in dental hygiene.

Explanation:

Dental hygienists are responsible for taking care of dental patients' hygiene under the supervision of a dentist. Dental hygienists examine patients' mouths to provide preventive instructions on how to take care of their teeth and gums. Dental hygienists can obtain a bachelor's degree after studying four (4) years in college but they can obtain their degree faster through an associate's in dental hygiene.
