People in this field clean teeth and examine patients for signs of oral diseases
such as gingivitis. They also provide
other dental care and make sure to educate their patients on how to take care
of it at home. Their duties include removing tartar, plaque, and stains from
teeth; applying sedatives and fluorides to help protect teeth, teach patients
oral cleansing techniques.
Salary: $70,210
Education: They need an associate’s degree
in dental hygiene. High school students interested should take courses in
biology, chemistry, and mathematics. They are also required to have completed
one year of college.
Reflection: I would like to learn more
about the different careers in this area.
