牙医和口腔卫生员之间有什么区别？
Both dentists and oral hygienists are trained in providing scaling and polishing services. However, there are certain differences between them.
Dentists are recognised as professional doctors who are skilled in all areas of dentistry. They focus on diagnosing and laying out the treatment plan for patients. On the other hand, oral hygienists are licensed professionals who mainly provide preventive dental care and services related to oral hygiene.
If you are visiting i.Dental for the first time, your first appointment will be with a dentist. Subsequently, you may opt for an oral hygienist for future appointments.
