A dental hygienist is a specialist who is highly knowledgeable about how to care for your mouth. He not only talks about hygiene, but also removes tartar, helps prevent caries, stomatitis, pulpitis and other dangerous conditions. By the way, in 2022, the ProfGid career guidance center developed an accurate career guidance test. He himself will tell you which professions are suitable for you, and give an opinion about your personality type and intelligence.

Short description

It is simply impossible to maintain healthy teeth without constant monitoring of oral hygiene. A variety of infections, untimely removal of plaque, and failure to follow simple recommendations regarding hygiene procedures lead to teeth hurting sooner or later. Regular visits to a dental hygienist are a means of preventing early caries, the development of periodontal diseases, and enamel destruction.

Such specialists have a medical education and most often work together with dental technicians and dentists, taking part in the complex treatment of patients. Their areas of interest include the following states:

• prevention and diagnosis of caries;
• all types of periodontal diseases;
• conditions caused by improper or irregular oral care;
• prevention, treatment or removal of tartar and plaque;
• returning teeth to a snow-white shade.

The main group of dental hygienist patients are children and adolescents, who most often suffer from the above conditions. These specialists can take part in social projects, working on a volunteer basis with vulnerable segments of the population. Their work is of great social importance, helping to reduce the risk of developing various diseases characteristic of the teeth and oral cavity by 65%!

Features of the profession

Oral care and maintaining dental health are now not only necessary, but also fashionable procedures. Therefore, hygienists are highly sought-after specialists, needed by every private and public dental clinic. Their responsibilities include the following:

• carrying out examination and diagnosis of periodontal diseases;

A specialist who makes a choice in favor of dental hygiene must necessarily receive a medical education. He is responsible for the dental health of the population and must be able to find a common language with people of any age. Reports to the chief physician and dentist.

The profession will not lose its relevance in the next 50 years. This kind of work pays well; a specialist will be able to find a decent vacancy, both in a large and in a small city. Dental hygienists do not perform complex medical procedures; men and women can realize themselves in the profession.

Story

It is generally accepted that the profession of a hygienist appeared in Russia quite recently - in the early 2000s. In America, where much attention is paid to disease prevention (after all, it is this approach that ultimately turns out to be economically beneficial for clients), the work of a dental hygienist began to become a separate profession already in the middle of the 19th century. It was then that doctors began to entrust their assistants with the care of keeping patients’ teeth clean and protecting them from caries. This made it possible to reduce the number of infectious diseases of the oral cavity by 60–65%.

Important personal qualities

A dental hygienist is a specialist who comes into contact with people on a daily basis, so the following important traits must be present in his character:

• competence,
• friendliness,
• perseverance,
• goodwill,
• altruism,
• responsibility,
• politeness,
