We are looking for a Dental Hygienist to help treat patients and promote good oral health practices.
A dental hygienist performs a variety of tasks on a day-to-day basis. Here are some of their main responsibilities:
Cleaning and polishing teeth: Dental hygienists use specialized instruments to remove tartar, plaque, and stains from patients' teeth. They also polish teeth to make them smooth and shiny.
Conducting oral health assessments: They examine patients' teeth and gums to assess their overall oral health and identify any signs of disease or abnormalities. They may also take dental x-rays and perform screenings for oral cancer.
Providing patient education: Dental hygienists educate patients on proper oral hygiene techniques, including brushing, flossing, and the use of mouthwash. They may also offer advice on nutrition and lifestyle habits that could affect oral health.
Applying preventive treatments: They apply fluoride treatments and sealants to help prevent tooth decay. They may also administer anesthesia or numbing agents before certain dental procedures.
Assisting dentists: Dental hygienists often work alongside dentists, supporting them during dental procedures. They may assist with tasks such as taking impressions, making temporary crowns, and applying dental materials.
Recording patient information: Dental hygienists document and maintain accurate records of their patients' dental history, treatments, and progress. They may also update medical histories and note any allergies or medications that could affect dental care.
Collaborating with other dental professionals: They work as part of a dental team, coordinating with dentists, dental assistants, and office staff to provide comprehensive patient care. This includes scheduling appointments and ensuring that all necessary information is communicated effectively.
Please note that the specific duties of a dental hygienist can vary depending on the state or country they practice in, as well as the specific office or clinic they work in.
