The dental hygienist is the oral preventive therapist in the dental office. The
j j j j j j j j j j j j
dentists who pioneered this special field of endeavor had a vision of the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
day when dental disease could be prevented by following a system of
j j j j j j j j j j j j
treatment and cleanliness. The dentist is primarily concerned with restorative
j j j j j j j j j j
treatment, although he or she also shares in preventing oral disease. The
j j j j j j j j j j j j
dental
j
assistant assists the dentist and may assist the dental hygienist as well. j j j j j j j j j j j
The receptionist greets patients and may help with the business and
j j j j j j j j j j j
financial aspects of thepractice.
