Whether you are looking for a new dentist and dental hygienist, or, you are looking to pursue a career as a dental hygienist, our team of experts has put together our top characteristics and skills of what makes great dental hygienist. Check it out to learn more.
First off, a great dental hygienist needs to know what they are doing. The role of a dental hygienist is to handle the regular cleaning for patients, take x-rays, and educate their patients. Dental hygienists must have completed their training to work in a dental office.
Next, a dental hygienist needs to be a people person. We like to hire those who have great people skills that are compassionate, patient and are good listeners. Many people do not like the dentist, so a good dental hygienist can make any patient feel calm and comfortable at their appointment.
Finally, a dental hygienist needs to be quick. The best dental hygienists are very detail oriented, and can complete their duties quickly, while not missing any steps of the cleaning or missing any items in the mouth that may need to be addressed by the dentist.
