Local Dental Hygiene Graduates Celebrate Milestone at SFSC Pinning Ceremony

On May 1, SFSC held a pinning ceremony for nine graduates of its Dental Hygiene program at the University Center Auditorium on the Highlands Campus in Avon Park. This event signifies the completion of their Associate in Science in Dental Hygiene degrees.

Dr. Rose Basso-Dubois, the director of SFSC’s Dental Education program, presented the dental hygiene pins to the graduates. The recipients were Aliya Blas, Kiersten DeJesus, Ingrid Eubank, Shalyn Falgoust, Alicia Lennon, Crystal McDonald, Naomi Martinez, Tyler Sinagra, and Bertha Sosa.

These new professionals are now eligible to take the National Dental Hygiene Board Examination and the Florida State Clinical Licensure Examination. Passing these exams will allow them to work as dental hygienists, collaborating with dentists in the dental health care team.
