Oral hygienists are dental professionals who focus on preventing and treating oral diseases. They perform tasks such as cleaning teeth, taking X-rays, and educating patients about proper oral hygiene practices. Their goal is to help maintain healthy teeth and gums, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. In addition to cleaning teeth, oral hygienists also provide valuable advice on diet and lifestyle choices that can affect oral health. They work closely with dentists to develop treatment plans and ensure patients receive comprehensive care. Their role is essential in promoting overall health and well-being through good oral hygiene.
