• Assess tooth and gum health
• Prepare individualized dental hygiene treatment plans
• Refer patients to a dentist for dental treatment
As part of their clinical regime, they not only look after the cosmetic appearance of teeth and gums, but also perform complex services like scaling and root planning to treat gum infections and diseases.
In community practice, the work of dental hygienists ranges from working with individuals on a one-to-one basis to dealing with entire communities They may perform health surveys for a community and work with other health professionals to design a health program for that community.
