Dental Hygienists
Dental hygienists belong to that branch of health care which everyone uses but no one speaks much about. As their name suggests, these people are responsible in the care and hygiene of the teeth. They aren't actively involved in curing dental diseases such as treating cavities or conducting root canal operations-that's the job of a dentist or a dental surgeon-but these hygienists are responsible in helping people with maintaining the proper hygiene of their dental structure, which includes the teeth as well as the gums.
Under this main umbrella, there are several tasks that a tooth and gum hygienist has to perform. Here we take a look at some of the things that they typically are supposed to do.
