B
The dental hygienist is the oral preventive therapist in the dental
h y h y h y h y h y h y h y h y h y h y



office. The dentists who pioneered this special field of endeavor had
h y h y hy h y h y h y h y h y h y h y h y



a vision of the day when dental disease could be prevented by
h y h y h y h y h y hy h y h y h y h y h y h y



following a system of treatment and cleanliness. The dentist is
h y h y h y h y h y hy h y h y h y h y



primarily concerned with restorative treatment, although he or she
h y h y h y h y h y hy h y h y h y



also shares in preventing oral disease. The dental
h y h y h y h y h y h y h y h y



assistant assists the dentist and may assist the dental hygienist as
h y h y h y h y h y h y h y h y h y h y



well. The receptionist greets patients and may help with the
h y h y hy h y h y h y h y h y h y h y



business and financial aspects of the practice.
