  • Thoroughly remove soft and hard deposits and extrinsic stain from teeth, using hand instruments, ultrasonic cavitron inserts and prophy handpieces.
  • Instruct patients how to practice good oral hygiene; make recommendations as to appropriate products or devices for patients' home care; and provide other health care education, as necessary.
  • Perform prophylaxis in the absence of periodontal disease or gingivitis.
  • Perform full mouth debridement, either as a first stage gingivitis therapy or to remove interfering calculus to further enable a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
  • Perform root planning as a periodontal therapy.
  • Placement and removal of periodontal packs.
  • Place locally administered antibiotics as supportive periodontal therapy.
  • Implement irrigation and desensitizing procedures or products as adjunctive to periodontal therapy.
  • Ability to take digital dental x-rays (intraoral and extraoral).
  • Apply cavity-preventive agents, such as fluorides.
  • Bonding for pit and fissure sealants.
  • Removal of temporary and permanent cement.
  • Make recommendations as to patients' recare interval and follow-up needs.
