Dental Assisting Colleges

Dental hygienists work closely with the Dentist and evaluate teeth and gums, remove plaque and stains teeth, perform root planing, take dental x rays, and apply fluorides and pit and fissure sealants and remove sutures after a procedure. Dental hygienists also help patients develop and maintain good oral health. For example, they may explain the relationship between diet and oral health or inform patients how to select toothbrushes and show them how to brush and floss their teeth.
