Guard Against Damaging Influences

Tooth enamel is the outer coating of our teeth that serves as a type of armor for the underlying layers. The enamel gets its strength from the mineral content which enables it to provide a roadblock to the acids and bacterial plaque that leads to tooth decay. It also insulates the more sensitive parts of our teeth from the effects of the hot and cold foods and drinks that we like to enjoy. Our tooth enamel will begin to de-mineralize over time, we can’t avoid it but we can make every effort to turn it around.

A dental hygienist must be good at multitasking. She will most likely be the first to greet a patient and get him ready for the exam. If it is the patient’s first visit to the office the hygienist will take a complete dental and medical history listing all current medications both prescription and over the counter. These records are essential to the dentist as a source for future reference and as a safeguard against dangerous drug interaction.
