I would probably recommend nursing right now. I have not heard good things about the job market for Dental Hygienists, but there is always a need for nurses. My best friend has been graduated from DH since May & still has not found a job.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend that job shadow both careers to get a better idea of a typical day in each.
