Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene focuses on preserving oral health and preventing disease. Dental hygienists play an essential role on the oral health care team, bringing expertise in identifying, preventing, treating, and managing conditions that affect the mouth.
Although dentists can perform many hygiene procedures, these services are typically provided by state‑licensed dental hygienists who specialize in oral disease prevention and patient education.
In addition to cleanings and comprehensive dental screenings, dental hygienists are trained to provide the following services:
- Gingivitis treatment
- Periodontal disease therapy
- Oral health and cavity prevention education
- Tooth brushing
- Flossing
- Implant and orthodontic care
- Tobacco and nutritional assessments
- Fluoride and sealants
- Pain control
Clinic Information
After receiving an initial exam from a licensed dentist, patients at the School's Dental Hygiene Student Clinic may continue their care directly—no referral needed.
Dental hygiene patient screening events are offered throughout the year and announced through various public channels. Join us at an upcoming community screening event, or contact us today to learn more.
