The Dental Hygienist Field?
Dental hygienists are very important members of a dental office team. The hygienist is the person who does the initial cleaning of the patient’s teeth. Their job requires them to remove plaque and stains from the patient’s teeth and discuss the importance of quality dental hygiene with the patient. They often answer questions and make recommendations on types of toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and floss that a particular patient should use. Dental hygienists also take x-rays of patients’ teeth as necessary. If a patient needs a crown, the hygienist may be responsible for taking the molds of the teeth. They are generally responsible for performing preventive maintenance applications such as fluoride treatments or whitening procedures on the teeth. Dental hygienists work in the dentist’s office, often working alongside the dentist. They may hand tools and equipment to the dentist while he or she works. They often take notes while the dentist makes recommendations. It is very important for dental hygienists to wear protective equipment such as gloves and masks when working in a patient’s mouth and when they are using dental equipment. They should also take precautions when they are working around an x-ray machine and when they are administering anesthetic gas to a patient. Dental hygienists can work flexible schedules and can work full-time or part-time depending on the dentist. Some dental hygienists can work for more than one dentist and some can work as temps traveling to several different dental offices during a week to fill in when the regular hygienist is out sick or on vacation. Hygienists must be graduates of an accredited dental hygienist program and pass a clinical exam administered by the National Dental Association. They must possess a license in order to work as a dental hygienist in the U.S. The dental hygienist occupation is one of the fastest growing fields and is expected to grow 36 percent over the next several years. It is expected that there will be a lot of competition in this growing field over the years as well. The average median annual salary of a dental hygienist is $66,000 in the U.S. according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

If An employee of a dentist has insurance and the employer files insurance and gives the employee all the money back from the insurance company Is this legal?
No. This would be not only be insurance fraud but would also endanger the license of the dentist involved. Plus if the insurance company ever found out about such a thing, the Dental Practice would have to close down, because no insurance company would contract with someone like that, ever again. If the State Licensing Division didn't revoke the Dentist's license, the insurance carriers no longer processing claims from this business would drive them out of business. The Dentist would have to start working at the 7-11 Store. Crooks are not Professionals.
