Students of CDAC or CODA accredited Dental Hygiene schools/programs may apply for the National Dental Hygiene Certification Examination (NDHCE) within 4 months of graduation by submitting the following documents before the application deadline:

• NDHCE Application Form (online or printable version)
• Appropriate fee + Tax
• 2 pictures - passport size (upload it only once using online application)
• Approval by the Dental Hygiene Program Coordinator if applying by mail

Please note that Applicants must meet all of the criteria under NDHCE Education Requirements before the NDHCB can even open an Eligibility evaluation file on their behalf. If those criteria are not met, the NDHCB will not conduct an evaluation of the applicant’s curriculum, will reimburse the application fee minus a non-refundable fee of $100 (+ Tax), and the applicant will be denied eligibility.
