<span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">I understand that the question is what attitude to place depending on age, I have a premise when attending as a dentist, I attend as I want to be treated, if the patient is a child you must have patience, it is likely that the appointment you have with you is the first and it should be a good first time, teach the instruments and explain, if the patient is an adult it is practically the same, you should not work in a hurry, work smoothly, and explain if there is a risk of pain.</span>

The dental hygienist in responsible for patient's periodontal health (or gum health). He or she is not only involved in preventive measures, helping patients maintain health gums and tooth support, but also treats gum disease to improve a patient's oral health. Dental hygienists perform rountine dental cleanings and more involved "deep" cleanings to treat gum disease. He or she provides treatment for all ages, from 1-year-olds to 99 years old and up! The work of the dental hygienist is very vital to a dental practice and a patient's overal oral health.
