dentists who pioneered this special field of endeavor had a vision of the

treatment and cleanliness. The dentist is primarily concerned with restorative

treatment, although he or she also shares in preventing oral disease. The

dental
j



assistant assists the dentist and may assist the dental hygienist as well. j j j j j j j j j j j



The receptionist greets patients and may help with the business and
j j j j j j j j j j j



financial aspects of thepractice.
