Invasive dental procedures involve techniques that penetrate the skin or mucous membranes, typically requiring surgery or the removal of tissue, such as tooth extractions or root canals. Non-invasive procedures, on the other hand, do not involve any incisions or tissue removal; examples include dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants.

The key difference between a dentist and a dental hygienist lies in their education and scope of practice. A dentist is a licensed doctor (DDS or DMD) trained to diagnose and treat oral health issues. They handle more advanced procedures such as fillings, root canals, crowns, extractions, and surgeries. Dentists also oversee treatment planning and can prescribe medications. A dental hygienist, however, focuses on preventive care. They perform professional teeth cleanings, scaling, polishing, apply fluoride and sealants, and educate patients on oral hygiene. Hygienists typically work under the supervision of a dentist and are essential in helping patients prevent dental issues.
