Dental Assistants v/s Dental Hygenists
 

I would like to say that Hygenists are required to pass State Board Testing to become liscensed and they take their jobs very seriously.  They are professionals and have worked diligently to earn their degrees.  Please consider that the compassion and courtesy provided by Dental Hygenists usually is what the patient remembers most of their dental visits.

Thank you,

Sincerely yours,

Barbara Burdette
