Savannah Technical College Board of Directors Chairman Jimmy Burnsed, STC Presi
dent Dr. Kathy Love and STC Dental Hygiene Department Head Dr. Suzanne Edenfleld
cut the ribbon to celebrate the opening of the College’s new Dental Hygiene
Program Facility.
When Savannah
Technical College (STC)
opened the doors to its new
Dental Hygiene Clinic Thurs
day evening, things were as
sparkly as a smile fresh from
a dental cleaning.
The Dental
Hygiene program, operated
for 44 years by Armstrong
Atlantic State University
(AASU), was transferred to
Savannah Technical College
last year, when AASU made
known its plan to eliminate
the program. Once Savannah
Tech was granted the transfer
of the accreditation by the
American Dental Associa
tion Commission on Dental
Accreditation, arrangements
were made to lease program
and clinical space from Arm
strong. While the construc
tion on the new facility was
completed, faculty were
hired, including supervising
dentists, and classes were
taught without academic in
terruption for students.
The new facility, on the
College’s Savannah Campus,
is a mix of renovated space
(7,745 square feet) and new
construction (6,407 square
feet). It includes a clinical
lab with 24 dental hygiene
stations, four radiology
rooms, a dental materials lab,
two classrooms, specialized
spaces for records, steriliza
tion, and patient reception,
as well as six faculty offices
and an administrative area.
Designed by Hansen Archi
tects of Savannah and built
by Benning Construction, the
cost of the project was $1.81
M.
The 8 2-credit-hour
program for an Associate of
Science in Dental Hygiene
accepts approximately 24
students annually. Students
provide clinical patient care
as a component of their cur
riculum requirements. Eden-
field is proud of the program’s
record of success, noting that
most students are offered em
ployment positions pending
successful completion of two
credentialing examinations
and licensure. The program
has had 100% licensure pass
rate for many years.
The program utilizes
a competitive admissions
process. Students wishing
to enter the Dental Hygiene
program must complete an
application packet by May
1, 2013 for admission to the
Fall class. For more informa
tion about program admis
sion, please contact STC’s
Health Sciences Academic
Advisor Heather Valentine
(hvalentine @ savannahtech.
edu or 912.443.5721) or Dr.
Suzanne Edenfield (seden-
field@savannahtech.edu).
