First -year student learning to expose dental radiographs on DXTTR (Dental X-ray Teaching and Training Replica) to gain competency prior to exposing films on patients.

Clinical activities take place in the Jean and Ralph Wilson Dental Hygiene Clinic, located in the Health Sciences Center on the Temple College East Campus. The clinic, a state-of-the-art fully functional facility, opened in January 2004. The clinic is named for Ralph Wilson, D.D.S., a retired dentist, and his wife, Jean, who made a generous donation to Temple College for the new Dental Hygiene Clinic. The clinic features 12 operatories, a complete radiography suite with a panoramic x-ray machine and four standard units, dental materials lab, central infection control room, and a waiting area/reception room.

Patients receive the full spectrum of preventive care, including cleaning and polishing, fluoride applications, sealants, radiographs, tobacco cessation education, nutritional counseling, and home care instruction.
