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.

assists the dentist and may assist the dental hygienist as well. The
receptionist greets patients and may help with the business and
