biomed into dental hygiene?

im thinking of studying biomedical science as it will give me a lot of different options that i’m interested in, one of them being dentistry. i was thinking of doing dental hygiene rather than dentistry but is it possible to do that post grad?

that’s what I’m thinking tbh
I think dental hygienist and therapy would be more suited to me and my needs and still be in the healthcare/science field.
I’m graduating biomed soon and I don’t think there is any post graduate options, only undergraduate so you’ll be basically doing 3 full years as a second undergraduate degree to be qualified as a dental hygienist and therapist. Although I believe you can maybe do JUST dental hygiene for 2 years in some cases but to extend your scope of practise you might aswell do the extra year.
I’m just gutted there’s no post graduate options so feel like I’ve wasted the last 3 years doing biomed
