The Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport is seeing its largest group of dental hygiene graduates.
The college accepts 40 students into its dental hygiene program each year. This year's graduating cohort includes five men, according to a May 10 news release.
The college said that while the prevalence of men in nursing has grown, dental hygiene has not seen the same increase. Women represent about 94% of registered dental hygienists in the industry, the college said.
