I still remember when I first initiated this topic, it was my first year in dental assisting program. Finally I have graduated this year and thanks for your supportive replies guys. We Somalis are rare in dentistry field that's something I've noticed during the past 2 years. I'm wondering if anyone got any idea about how to apply for a hygienist degree in West Europe or The States?
