Professional Dental Terminology for the Dental Assistant and Hygienist
Oral Hygiene

Jamie to Mr. Smith: “While Beverly is setting up for the radiographs the doctor prescribed, she asked me to review the dental hygiene instructions she gave you at the beginning of your appointment. I will let you demonstrate the flossing and brushing techniques she showed you to make sure you feel comfortable with them. I am also going to give you a pamphlet outlining the techniques for you to take home along with the oral hygiene aids she gave you.”
