Just type it on a search engine and the specific dental hygiene school will let you know what are its requirements and prerequisites. I hear dental hygiene pays well. good luck!

In England you must have 5 G.C.S.Es at grade A-C and 2 years as a qualified Nurse or 2 A-levels to study Dental Hygiene. The course is 2 years full time.

The first step is to find a school which has a dental hygiene program and overview their program requirements. Class requirements vary by individual academic institutions.
Most schools, however, have on-line course overviews which you may view to figure out what prerequisites you will need in order to get into a dental hygiene program. Most prerequisite classes are science based (chemistry, anatomy, physiology, statistics...). Good luck on your educational endeavors!

There are four year programs offering a BS and 2 year programs offering associate degrees. Here's the info for New Hampshire, where I practice:

It's a great career - Here in New England we start new hygienists at $30 per hour.
