Six Area Residents Succeed On National Dental Exams

Six Area Residents Succeed On National Dental ExamsBLUE BELL PA – Six area residents are among 18 graduates of Montgomery County Community College’s 2012 dental hygiene program, all of whom passed the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination and American Board of Dental Examiners’ dental hygiene examination on the first try, the college reported Wednesday (Oct. 31, 2012).

Passing the licensing exam helps ensure competent practitioners as well as public safety. MCCC’s program started in 1973; since then, more than 650 students have graduated and become licensed dental hygienists.

The graduates include Stephanie Muse of Pottstown, Brittany Beck of Royersford, Laura Eberhart of Collegeville, Patricia DeLauretis of Schwenksville, and Syeda Akhtar and Mattie Gehman, both of Harleysville.
