Provide preliminary dental care. Dental hygienists operate outside dentist supervision to clean teeth, inspect patients for signs of oral disease or jaw/tooth problems, produce/interpret X-rays, and keep patients informed on positive oral health habits. They also track and maintain patient records and treatment plans. Depending on state regulations, additional duties may include sculpting and installing fillings and/or periodontal dressings.
Dental hygienists must have a working knowledge of the factors influencing dental health—diet, for example—in order to properly educate patients. They are also highly proficient in interpersonal communication, as they interact with clients regularly.

Thinking about a career in the dental field? Not sure whether to pursue a hygienist or assistant position? While there are some core traits that all dental professionals should have – caring demeanor, attention to detail, dexterity, physical stamina – the career paths and requirements for a hygienist and assistant differ significantly. Compare these roles side-by-side to determine which option is best for you.
Successful dental hygienists are dedicated to their field, excel in independent as well as team-oriented roles, and take pride in their responsibility to promote proper oral care strategies. On the surface it may seem that all dental hygienists perform the same duties, and therefore if you’ve seen one dental hygienist resume, you’ve seen them all.
Allied dental educators prepare students to become dental hygienists, assistants, and lab technicians to meet the ever-increasing demand for dental health professionals. They train students new to their professions or lead continuing education courses to help currently practicing professionals stay current regarding new developments in the field.
