They clean teeth, remove tarter buildup around the gumline and will poke and prod around to see if there are any weak spots in the enamel of patients teeth and then they polish the teeth with a special polishing tool and paste. To be a dental hygenist you must have an associates degree or higher and take a standardized test to be licenced. Pay is around $30 an hour... give or take a bit.
