Some of us may be fortunate enough to work side by side with a dental hygienist or oral health therapist within our practice, but for many of us who haven't, the role of a hygienist/OHT, their scope and expertise can be a bit of a mystery.
In today’s episode, we are joined by Emma Cubis and we dive into the role of a hygienist/OHT within a dental practice, the differences between the two professions and how to optimise the partnership between a dentist and hygienist. But the true meat and bones of this episode and what I really love is our deep dive into preventative care, oral health and all of Emma’s tips and tricks to really get that OHT clean feeling. And yes, there’s definitely a difference! I sure picked up some really valuable tips from Emma and so I hope you guys do too!
Emma Cubis aka @emmatalksteeth is a dental hygienist/oral health therapist, content creator and host of the Talk Dental To Me podcast.
