Over this Winter break, I shadowed a dental hygienist at Smiles of Arkansas in Dequeen. My recent shadowing experience gave me an up-close look at the important work dental hygienists do every day. From cleaning teeth to educating patients, their role is essential for maintaining healthy smiles.
I watched as they carefully reviewed patients' medical histories, performed cleanings like scaling and polishing, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and cared for.
