About

We help dental hygiene students pass
the most important exam of their lives.

We know what passing the NBDHE means to you. We know what it feels like to add those three big letters after your name. We know that the profession is truly a calling. And that's why we do what we do.

Not Too Little, Not Too Much - It's Just Right

With HygienistPrep, we think we've struck the perfect balance - providing students with just what's needed to study smarter, not harder. Time is so precious and there are plenty of other things you have to worry about, so we do everything we can to help you study in the most efficient and effective way possible. We relentlessly review our content and program to ensure that it's close enough to the real exam that you'll feel confident, prepared, and ready to pass the NBDHE and become a dental hygienist.

We Love Learning...and People...and Animals

Our team has been doing board prep for more than 10 years and we're in love with learning. Treating people right is at the core of everything we do. We treat our customers just as we'd like to be treated. And we see each other as family, which makes the work we do that much more rewarding. We're headquartered in California, though everyone at HygienistPrep is free to live and work wherever they please. Pets and animals are also a hugely important part of our lives. From dogs and cats, to donkeys and goats and raptors (the flying variety), there's lots of fur and feathers in the HygienistPrep family.

It's About Far More Than Board Prep

We love giving back to the dental hygiene community! We've sponsored countless student events, supported charitable causes, and awarded service trips and other prizes to deserving students through our participation in the student community. And it feels great to say that what we've done is only the beginning.

Fifteen years after graduating from hygiene school in Canada, writing the US hygiene board exam seemed like a daunting task but with HygienistPrep I was able to feel completely prepared and passed on my first attempt. Thank-you for making a challenging, accurate, interactive study/learning guide!

Christine, Saskatchewan Polytechnic

HygienistPrep is great for learning how to properly read and understand the questions. It allows for recognition of the point of the question. HygienistPrep made me realize where I would misread a question and taught me how to correctly interpret the prompts. I learned more information about disease prevention and ethics from HygienistPrep than 2 years in hygiene school.

Dominique, West Coast University

I really felt like the case studies helped me. I felt very confident while taking the NBDHE.

Lindsy, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences

The randomized questions, the variety of formats, and the case studies were all excellent in the sense that they provided a good idea of what the test would look like.

Sara, Indiana School of Dentistry

Although the questions were tough, I really felt like it prepared me for how the boards questions would be worded!

Leah, Century College

I thought it was a great tool! It had very challenging questions and types simulated on the NBDHE. I would suggest studying during your winter break because there is SO much material it became overwhelming.

Lisa, Harcum College

I just wanted to let you know that I passed my state board exam. I used HygienistPrep and I must say it was very helpful. Many questions from HygienistPrep came on the board exam and I was so excited. It made it easier for me. Many thanks to you and other members of your staff. Thank you for coming in and speaking to the students at NYU College of Dentistry.

Rachael, New York University
