All Dental hygienist

A dental hygienist is a licensed dental professional who works under the supervision of a dentist to provide preventative dental care to patients. Dental hygienists typically perform a range of tasks such as cleaning teeth, taking X-rays, assessing and recording patient’s oral health, and educating patients about proper oral hygiene techniques. They may also provide fluoride treatments, administer anesthesia, and place dental sealants. The role of the dental hygienist is critical in helping patients maintain optimal oral health and prevent dental problems from developing. Dental hygienists work in a variety of settings, including dental offices, hospitals, and public health clinics. They must complete a rigorous education program that includes classroom instruction and clinical training, and must pass a licensing exam to practice. They may work alongside dentists, dental assistants, and other dental professionals as part of a comprehensive dental care team.
