What Does a Dental Hygienist Do?

In the dental office, the dentist and the dental hygienist work together to meet the oral health needs of patients. Since each country has its own specific regulations regarding their responsibilities, the range of services performed by hygienists varies. Some of the services provided by dental hygienists may include:

  • patient screening procedures; such as assessment of oral health conditions, review of the health history, oral cancer screening, head and neck inspection, dental charting and taking blood pressure and pulse
  • taking and developing dental radiographs (x-rays)
  • removing calculus and plaque (hard and soft deposits) from all surfaces of the teeth
  • applying preventive materials to the teeth (e.g., sealants and fluorides)
  • teaching patients appropriate oral hygiene strategies to maintain oral health
  • counseling patients about good nutrition and its impact on oral health
  • making impressions of patients' teeth for study casts (models of teeth used by dentists to evaluate patient treatment needs)
  • performing documentation and office management activities

What To Expect From a DEEP Cleaning at the Dentist


Let's talk about deep cleanings - including the procedure itself, post-op instructions, recovery, and everything else you want to know!

Deep cleanings are a type of therapeutic procedure used to halt periodontal disease and prevent it from progressing. They’re designed to reach tartar and plaque buildup deep below gum tissues inside of infected “periodontal pockets.” Unlike preventative dental cleanings, these scaling and root planing treatments are focused on areas of infection using special instrumentation or technology.

Most deep cleanings consist of cleaning one quadrant (1/4) of your mouth at a time, scheduling 1-2 quadrants per appointment. It’s common to have half of your mouth cleaned during one deep cleaning procedure and the other half cleaned at a separate visit 1-2 weeks later.

What is a Filling?

Dental restoration, dental fillings, or simply fillings, are treatments used to restore the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structure resulting from caries or external trauma as well as to the replacement of such structure supported by dental implants. They are of two broad types—direct and indirect—and are further classified by location and size. A root canal filling, for example, is a restorative technique used to fill the space where the dental pulp normally resides.
