Dental Hygiene Program
Dental hygienists are important members of the dental health team. Dental hygienists
use their knowledge and clinical skills to provide dental hygiene care for patients and
communication skills to instruct patients on methods to improve and maintain their oral
health.
In the dental office, the dentist and the dental hygienist work together to meet the
oral health needs of each patient. Dental Hygienists are usually employed in general
dental practices, specialty dental practices or in public health settings.
