Dental hygienists examine patients for signs of oral diseases, such as gingivitis, and provide preventive care, including oral hygiene.
Dental assistants work with dentists in patient care. They help dentists during a procedure by passing instruments and holding equipment such as suction hoses, matrix bands and dental curing lights. They may take x-rays or prepare materials for dental impressions or temporary crowns under the dentist’s direction.
