West Georgia Technical College (WGTC) is proud to announce that the Dental Hygiene Class of 2026 achieved a 100% pass rate on the Central Regional Dental Testing Services (CRDTS) exam.
As part of the requirement for licensure, the CRDTS exam assesses dental hygiene students’ professional knowledge, skills, abilities, and clinical judgment to prepare them for dental hygiene practice.
Ava Spangler (Tyrone), Tiffany Coleman (Palmetto), Jaycie Edgar (Lagrange), Jennifer Vicente-Vazquez (Douglasville), Destiny Vasrani (Jonesboro), Luana Wilson (Roopville), and Madison Smith (Hogansville)
will graduate with an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene from WGTC in May. After successfully completing the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination, all graduates will be prepared to enter the workforce as Registered Dental Hygienists upon licensure in Georgia or elsewhere.
Program Director Melondy Martin praised the students’ accomplishment, highlighting both their dedication and professionalism.
“We are proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement for the Class of 2026 Dental Hygiene students who have successfully passed the CRDTS clinical board examination at 100% again this year,” Martin said. “This accomplishment reflects their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to excellence in patient care. Passing the clinical boards is a major milestone on their journey to becoming licensed dental hygienists, and we are incredibly proud of these hard-working students. We look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in the profession and in the communities they serve.”
The Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene is an 83-credit hour program designed to prepare students for a wide range of career opportunities. This rigorous and highly competitive program equips graduates with the knowledge and clinical skills needed to succeed in dental offices, public health agencies, educational institutions, and the insurance industry.
