What do you enjoy most about being a dental hygienist?

October is National Dental Hygiene Month. To commemorate this month and Dentistry of the Carolinas’ wonderful hygienists, we asked our hygiene team why they love what they do. Here’s what they had to say.

What I enjoy the most of being a dental hygienist are the relationships I build with our patients. They are irreplaceable. Watching that child that I saw for their very first visit, turn into a young adult and then go off to college is the coolest and makes what I do the most awesome job in the world!
