Dental Hygienists

Dental hygienists are licensed healthcare professionals who specialize in preventive oral care. They perform important tasks such as cleaning teeth, removing plaque and tartar, and providing education on proper oral hygiene practices. During a dental visit, they may take X-rays, assess gum health, and help detect dental issues early. Hygienists work alongside dentists to promote good oral health, preventing cavities and gum disease. They play a crucial role in maintaining overall health, as oral hygiene is linked to various systemic conditions. Through their expertise, dental hygienists help patients achieve healthier smiles and better overall well-being.
