Dental hygienists play a vital role in the dental care team, working with dentists to provide preventive care and education to patients.
We advertise a range of dental hygienist courses that'll teach you the fundamentals of dental hygiene, from cleaning teeth, removing plaque and tartar, and applying fluoride treatments, to dental X-rays, infection control, and patient education. These courses typically cover the following topics:
- Oral anatomy and physiology
- Dental hygiene techniques
- Patient education and counseling
- Professionalism and ethics
To become a dental hygienist, you'll need apply to a dental hygiene program that is accredited by the General Dental Council (GDC). These programs are typically offered by universities and dental schools.
