Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene has changed considerably since 1914. We now realize that having oral care is a vital step towards our health. Dental hygienists like Dr. Fones are one of the immense motiveshuge reasons behind the public knowledge of comprehending to takethe importance of taking the time to thoroughly clean our teeth.

Before reading the articles, dental hygienisthygienists to me representedseemed to be all about the cleaning of multiple patientspatients' teeth. It would have beenwas about sharing conversations with patients, asking about their life and trytrying to get to know them. ItHowever, it is much deeper than what I had thought,; it is about makinghaving an impact toon each and every person who walks in. They should walk out of the dental office more informed than what they were whenwhen they walked in. The proper techniques should be a learning experience tofor our clients; walking them through our cleaning process and sharing what they can do to keep their teeth clean by themselves. If they aren’t doing something they should be; inform, informing them onabout what to do and how to do it.

Dental hygiene is a job field where you need to care for other people. It is not a job that you can just walk into and not know anything about. You need to be educated, then spread your knowledge. The more you help others clean their teeth properly, not only will your job become easier;, but your clients will be healthier overall.

Because of Dr. Fones and other dental hygienists, we value our teeth. Brushing our teeth has become a daily routine for billions of people. The information we established about dental health has been a revolutionary discovery. Being a dental hygienist is not only about cleaning teeth but, it is also about acting like a friend and a teacher all at once.
