1. When was the inception of the profession of dental hygiene?
a. In ancient Greece
b. In the early 1800s
c. In the early 1900s
d. In 1979 CORRECT ANSWER: C
The scope of practice of a dental hygienist was first established by law in
Connecticut in 1915. Alfred C. Fones taught his dental assistant, Irene Newman, to
treat patients and to teach them to maintain their mouths in a clean state. In
1913, Fones established the first school for dental hygienists in Bridgeport,
Connecticut. The first oath written for dental hygienists called upon Apollo and
Hygeia, who were the Greek god and goddess of health, respectively. A modernized
version of the first oath was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the American
Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) in 1979.

dental disease could be prevented by following a system of treatment and
cleanliness. The dentist is primarily concerned with restorative treatment,
although he or she also shares in preventing oral disease. The dental assistant
assists the dentist and may assist the dental hygienist as well. The receptionist
greets patients and may help with the business and financial aspects of the
practice.

are expressed in professional codes of ethics, they are enforced by those within
the profession rather than by the legal system. Important components of this
enforcement include self-regulation and submission to peer review.
