All dental hygienist

A dental hygienist is a licensed oral health professional who works with dentists to provide preventive dental care to patients. Their primary responsibilities include cleaning teeth, taking X-rays, performing oral cancer screenings, and providing patient education on oral hygiene and disease prevention. Dental hygienists also help manage patient pain and discomfort during dental procedures and assist dentists with other tasks as needed. They work closely with dentists to develop personalized care plans for each patient, taking into account their individual oral health needs and medical history. Dental hygienists typically hold an associate degree or certificate in dental hygiene and are required to be licensed in the state where they practice.
