Welcome to the new Dental Hygiene Committee of California (DHCC) web site. We are proud and excited that DHCC is the first of its kind in the United States.
The DHCC will consist of nine members appointed by the Governor; four public members, one practicing dentist and four dental hygienists. The responsibilities of DHCC include issuing, reviewing, and revoking licenses as well as developing and administering examinations. Additional functions include adopting regulations, determining fees and continuing education requirements for all hygiene licensure categories.

ATTENTION APPLICANTS:
In an effort to improve application efficiencies and to be “green,” the DHCC is now encouraging all applicants to use the new BreEZe computer system to apply for licensure (Initial Licensure). We will still accept paper applications; however, the quickest and most efficient method to apply for licensure (and even renew your license) is through the BreEZe system. If you need further assistance with information about applying for a dental hygiene license, please review the information under QUICK HITS (left side of homepage) then go to How to Become Licensed? Also, please utilize the Checklists that are provided for each licensure pathway for a quick reference.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 916-263-1978 or by email at: dhccinfo@dca.ca.govThank you.
