Dental Hygiene Question Bank
Course Introduction
Dental Hygiene is a comprehensive course that introduces students to the fundamental principles and practices necessary to maintain and promote oral health. The curriculum covers topics such as oral anatomy, dental radiography, infection control, preventive dentistry, patient assessment, and the management of oral diseases. Emphasis is placed on the development of clinical skills required for dental cleanings, fluoride application, sealant placement, and patient education. Students will also explore the ethical, legal, and professional responsibilities of a dental hygienist while gaining practical experience in both laboratory settings and supervised clinical environments.
