Dental hygienists work alongside dentists to provide preventative dental care. They clean teeth, take X-rays, and educate patients on oral hygiene practices. This role requires strong communication skills and attention to detail. It's a great alternative for those interested in healthcare but prefer a more focused and less extensive educational path than becoming a dentist.

• Key Responsibilities: Cleaning teeth, examining patients for signs of oral diseases, and providing preventative dental care.
• Skills Required: Attention to detail, communication, and manual dexterity.
