Being a dental hygienist is more than tooth cleanings. Using therapeutic, educational, and preventative procedures, dental hygienists make assessments, diagnose within their scope of practice, develop appropriate treatment plans, and treat oral health conditions. They also help educate individuals and groups of people in the community about oral health.
