Celebrating Our Unsung Heroes THE Dental Hygienists

Apr 10 , 2025

When we think of visiting the dentist, the first face we often see isn’t the dentist—it’s the dental hygienist. These caring professionals are at the heart of every successful dental practice, working behind the scenes and front and center to keep our smiles healthy, bright, and clean. As we celebrate Dental Hygienist’s Week from April 4–8, Monarch Dentistry is proud to recognize the important work our hygienists do every single day.

What Do Dental Hygienists Actually Do?

Dental hygienists are much more than just the people who clean your teeth. They are licensed oral health professionals who play a critical role in disease prevention, education, and early detection. Their responsibilities include:

  • Conducting thorough teeth cleanings (removing plaque, tartar, and stains)

  • Applying fluoride treatments and dental sealants

  • Taking and reviewing dental X-rays

  • Screening for signs of gum disease, oral cancer, and other health issues

  • Educating patients on proper brushing and flossing techniques

  • Building trust and reducing dental anxiety, especially in children

They are also key in communicating patient needs to the dentist and helping patients stick to a consistent oral care routine.

Why Their Work Matters So Much

Gum disease affects nearly half of all adults, and many people don’t realize they have it. Dental hygienists are on the front lines of preventing this issue—and many others—before they become serious. By keeping the mouth free of plaque and bacteria, they help reduce the risk of:

  • Tooth decay

  • Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)

  • Tooth loss

  • Chronic bad breath

  • Systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes

A clean mouth isn’t just about a pretty smile—it’s a major part of your overall health, and hygienists are the ones who help you maintain it.

Creating a Comfortable Experience

For many patients, especially those with dental anxiety, the dental hygienist becomes a trusted partner in care. They’re often the first to welcome you, the ones who take the time to listen to your concerns, and the ones who help you feel more comfortable in the chair.

At Monarch Dentistry, our hygienists are known for their compassionate approach, gentle touch, and dedication to patient well-being. They love what they do—and it shows in every smile they help create.

Let’s Hear It for Our Hygiene Heroes

This week, we encourage everyone to take a moment to thank their dental hygienist. Whether it’s with a kind word, a thank-you card, or even a positive Google review, showing appreciation goes a long way.

And if it’s been a while since your last visit, now is the perfect time to schedule your cleaning and reconnect with your hygienist. Your teeth will thank you!

Book a hygiene appointment with Monarch Dentistry today and let our hygiene heroes help you shine.
