All of our presenters are experts in their subject area, with an average of 7-10 speakers at each location. Each speaker has achieved an advanced degree in Dental Hygiene or Dentistry and has many years of teaching and clinical experience. Each speaker is familiar with previous National Board questions, content and subtypes. In addition, each presenter is familiar with the computer test format.

Not only do we provide you with multiple practice questions in the NEW Board format in both our review book and lectures, but we also have questions in the new format on our interactive Mock Board exam that is the closest thing you can find to the real test! No other review seminar prepares you for these areas, which is one more reason why DHS is #1 in the nation.
