Did you know the second week of April is known as Dental Hygienist Week? Other than enjoying the blooming spring weather, now is a great time to celebrate these dental professionals and all that they do to help you maintain a beautiful and healthy smile<\/a>. Keep reading to learn five major reasons you should be thankful for your dental hygienist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: They\u2019re Your First Line of Defense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every time you schedule a dental checkup and cleaning, your hygienist is one of the first you can rely on to help polish your teeth and perform fluoride treatment. They\u2019re also trained to detect any underlying or developing problems that may arise in your oral cavity. This is because they\u2019ll typically evaluate the places in your mouth that are difficult to reach or could be concealing issues like cavities or infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: They\u2019re Passionate About Caring for Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest reasons dental hygienists begin their career in dentistry is that they deeply care about people\u2019s smiles. For them, nothing beats being able to make a difference in another person\u2019s life, especially with something as important as showing off a healthy and beautiful set of pearly whites. Their job also involves helping you maintain good oral health for a better quality of life, and it\u2019s something they look forward to each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: They\u2019re a Friendly & Familiar Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you go for a routine dental visit or require any kind of treatment, your hygienist can be the familiar face you need to help you feel comfortable and confident about your care. Even if you only see them twice a year, if you have a good relationship with them, you\u2019ll feel much happier getting treated by someone you already trust. In many cases, hygienists who bond well with their patients typically end up helping the same family for many years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: They Give Back to Their Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that almost 70% of dental hygienists typically join in at one or several community service events each year? Not only do they care very much about your smile, but they also love to contribute to their community in as many ways as they can. If you ever choose to volunteer in these events, you might just see your hygienist participating alongside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: They\u2019re Committed to Continuing Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even after graduating, hygienists are still required to finish over 20 hours of continuing education every year. In this way, they can grow and advance their skills, always staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and techniques. This means you can expect your dental hygienist to be constantly learning so that they can provide the high-quality care you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t hesitate to show your hygienist some appreciation, especially since they do everything they can to preserve your beautiful smile! They\u2019ll be incredibly grateful that you value their hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
