​Bogdan Nykyforuk is a dedicated dental hygiene student with a strong passion for preventive care, patient education, and community outreach. His journey into dentistry was deeply shaped by his upbringing in a country where oral health education was limited and the dental hygiene profession did not exist. These early experiences inspired his commitment to ensuring others have access to the knowledge and resources needed to maintain lifelong oral health.

​

Graduated in June 2025 with an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene at New York City College of Technology (CUNY), Bogdan has developed a strong foundation in both clinical and educational aspects of patient care. Through his training, he discovered the powerful connection between oral health and overall well-being, motivating him to become not only a clinician, but also an advocate and educator for his patients.

​

Bogdan’s clinical skill set includes comprehensive patient education, periodontal disease management, dental radiography, local anesthesia administration, Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), oral cancer screenings, implant maintenance, and preventive services such as fluoride applications and sealants for both children and adults. He is also proficient in modern dental software and is committed to maintaining the highest standards in infection control, documentation, and patient safety.

​

Community service is an important part of Bogdan’s professional identity. He has participated in outreach initiatives educating young children on proper oral hygiene and applying fluoride varnish to help prevent dental caries, reinforcing his belief in early intervention and prevention.

​

Known for his thoughtful, patient-centered approach, Bogdan strives to create a welcoming environment where patients feel informed, supported, and empowered. His genuine care for people, combined with his growing clinical expertise, reflects his dedication to delivering compassionate, personalized dental hygiene care and making a meaningful impact on every patient he serves.
