National Board Dental Hygiene Examiners
The National Board Dental Hygiene Examiners (NBDHE) is a professional organization that develops and administers a standardized exam to assess the knowledge and competence of dental hygienists. This exam ensures that dental hygienists have the necessary skills and understanding to provide safe, effective oral healthcare. Successfully passing the NBDHE is usually a requirement for licensure in many states, helping to maintain high standards within the dental hygiene profession and protect public health.
