Dental Hygiene

Page 149 text:

The Caruth School of Dental Hygiene was organized in 1954 with a grant from the Caruth Foundation and W. W. Caruth, Jr. | Since that time certificates in Dental Hygiene have been awarded to 170 students. The Dental Hygienist may pursue her work in many areas in the dental office—taking X-rays, giving prophylaxes, and educating patients in proper care of the mouth. She is also trained to aid the dentist in other duties in the dental office. In public health service, which includes public schools and other dental health pro-| grams, the dental hygienist is an educator. She gives personal and classroom instruction in mouth hygiene, makes records of mouth conditions and gives oral prophylaxes. She is often asked to give talks on dental health to civic groups. The dental hygienist continues to play an increasingly important role in aiding the den- tist in routine duties and improving oral hygiene not only of his patients but of the public.
