Dental Hygiene

Dental Hygiene explores the relationship between oral health care and overall well-being. Dental hygienists, registered with dental associations and other healthcare professionals, provide personalized oral hygiene care based on principles of biomedical, clinical, and social knowledge. Dental hygienists play a vital role in oral cancer screening and prevention, with a significant focus on examining the soft tissues of the oral cavity during each patient visit, as this is where early signs of oral cancer may manifest.
