Horry Georgetown Technical College Dental Hygiene Clinic Availability and Short Notice List Thank you for entrusting our clinic with your dental hygiene needs. The American Dental Association recommends professional dental cleanings at least once every six months. Unfortunately, due to the nature of HGTC’s student services we are unable to ensure that our patients will be seen twice annually. We do suggest that you alternate your dental cleanings between our clinic and a local dentist. If your work/home/ or school schedule allows for us to contact you on short notice, to fill in for an appointment cancelation, please complete this form. Because of the volume of people we serve, it is encouraged to periodically check on the status of our waiting list. We do provide our students with return patients’ contact information however students are limited to the amount of patients they will see in a given semester.
