Dental Hygienists are dental healthcare providers! The scope of practice may\u00a0 vary from state to state. At Frankel Dentistry, our patients tell us we have the\u00a0 best dental hygienists and we agree.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In Ohio, they perform a wide range of services, such as:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Examining teeth and gums to identify problems, which may include cavities,\u00a0 gum disease, or oral cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cleaning teeth and gums. Using specific dental instruments and tools, they\u00a0 remove plaque, tartar, and stains, which helps prevent tooth decay and gum\u00a0 disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking radiographs. Dental hygienists may take x-rays of teeth and jaws to\u00a0 reveal issues not visible in an oral exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructing and explaining toothbrushing and flossing, diet, and the use of\u00a0 fluoride. Oral health education may include diseases of the teeth, gums, and\u00a0 mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Local anesthesia and nitrous oxide may be administered by dental hygienists\u00a0 under the supervision of a licensed dentist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Applying topical fluoride to strengthen and remineralize enamel is another\u00a0 dental hygienist function.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental hygienists are invaluable members of the dental health team. Your\u00a0 smile will thank you if you see your dental hygienist once every 3 to 6\u00a0 months.<\/span><\/p>\n
