Dental hygienists with the ADHP credential do not have to be supervised by a dentist. Dental hygienists who receive the ADHP credential will have graduated from an accredited dental hygiene program and will also have completed an American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) approved advanced educational curriculum. For a dental hygienist with the DT credential, a dentist is required to be present for the more complicated procedures, such as restorative procedures and extractions, but not required to be on site for preventive services. CDHCs will work under the supervision of dentists. DHATs work under the general supervision of dentists.
