The job of the dental hygienist is just as hands -on as any dentist's - and it offers an outstanding springboard for a career in the healthcare and dental fields. This program shows what a dental hygienist can expect as far as training, duties, and compensation, while outlining the personal qualities and people skills that any successful D.H. should possess. Featuring interviews with experienced hygienists and those who train them, the program highlights the cleaning and examination procedures a D.H. will perform and the special rapport he or she must be able to establish with patients. Students are advised to prepare for a dental hygienist career by excelling in high school biology courses and volunteering at clinics and hospitals.
