Becoming a dentist or dental hygienist starts

Dental hygienists provide many forms of dental
care including preventive care as well as cleaning teeth and
gums and teaching patients how to best take care of their
teeth. They use a variety of hygienist tools including hand
and rotary instruments as well as ultrasonic tools for cleaning
and polishing teeth and removing calculus, stains and plaque.

hygiene degree from an accredited dental hygiene school. To
