Dental hygienists are licensed dental auxiliaries who specialize in preventive dental care, typically but not limited to focusing on techniques in oral hygiene. Local dental regulations determine the duties hygienists are able to perform. In most jurisdictions, hygienists work for a dentist, and are licensed to administer restricted techniques of local anesthesia. Also radiographs, sealants, scaling, root planing and cleaning are common procedures performed by dental hygienists.
Dental technicians are dental auxiliaries who fabricates dental appliances such as removable prothesis including dentures, and fixed restorative work such as crown and bridges for the dental operator to insert.
