Attention Dental Hygiene Applicants who took the
CITA exam June 7 or 8:

Our office does not receive results from CITA until 3-4 weeks after the exam.
Once scores are received, we will need some processing time to issue all the licenses.
When we know the date of issue, we will post it here, along with a time when licenses will be available for pick up.

Check back here in the coming weeks for updates.
