Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone with daca is working as a dental hygienist?
I want to study to become one but I've heard some people telling me that
only permanent residents or citizens can work in a medical field.

I've tried to find information online but there is not enough information there
so please help me out if you know anybody or know for a fact that a PR or Citizenship
is required for this job.

Also I live in Georgia, if that helps!

Thanks so much!

According to the Georgia Dental Hygienist Association, to get your license, you'll need to verify that you are a Citizen or legally present in the U.S. You can use your EAD Card for this. Georgia Dental Hygienist Association

Other than that, to get an Associates of Science in Dental Hygiene is to do the courses at a college/university/trade school. Every college is different when deciding whether to allow you in-state or out-of-state tuition.
