Information on Dental Hygienist Career?

I am currently a high school senior and I am considering a career in Dental Hygienist. I am applying to a Dental hygienist program at my local community college but I want to acquire more information before I actually apply. What is the difficulty level on the classes? I am an A and B average student and I have taken mostly all advanced classes. Do dental hygienist have a stressful job and what would the salary be like?

I’m A freshman In highschool and Ive wanted to be a dental hygientist as well. I did a school report on it once and You should go to dental school for about 4 years. The median pay is about $65,000, ranges between $60,000 to $110,000. If you’d be interested in other dental jobs like endodontists or orthodontists then you’d be looking at something around $80,000 or higher. Hope that helps in anyway.
