Correction: If you honestly believe that the sole reason dental hygiene exists is for the purpose of profit, you are terribly mistaken....
Dental hygienists are engaged in health care, education, research, and professional leadership. They serve as a resource of oral health knowledge and conduct educational and clinical research to further this knowledge; it is a lifelong learning challenge. It is a service that involves the prevention and treatment of oral diseases, as well as the systemic effects that may occur as a result of periodontal diseases or oral cancers. Prevention, preservation and restoration of oral health is amongst the top priorities of the profession.
Impaired dentition can be caused by various factors such as poor oral hygiene, dental decay, gum disease, trauma to the teeth or jaw, genetic factors, systemic diseases, and lifestyle habits like smoking or a diet high in sugar. Regular dental check-ups and practicing good oral hygiene can help prevent impaired dentition.
Some examples of protozoa found in the mouth are Entamoeba gingivalis, Trichomonas tenax, and Balantidium coli. These organisms can be present in dental plaque and contribute to oral infections or diseases. Regular dental hygiene practices can help to prevent their overgrowth.
Pathogens in dental care refer to harmful microorganisms that can cause infections or diseases in the mouth. Common dental pathogens include bacteria like Streptococcus mutans (causes cavities) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (causes gum disease). Proper oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing regularly, can help prevent the growth of these pathogens.
A boil in the mouth, often referred to as an oral abscess, typically occurs due to a bacterial infection that leads to the accumulation of pus. This can happen from poor oral hygiene, untreated dental issues like cavities or gum disease, or trauma to the mouth. Conditions that weaken the immune system can also increase the likelihood of developing such infections. Maintaining good oral hygiene and seeking prompt treatment for dental issues can help prevent them.

Training for dental hygiene is a great idea. The training courses are designed to be easy to follow and understand.
To become a dental hygienist you attend a dental hygiene program offered at a college. Some schools have a pre-dental hygiene program where you would complete both pre-requisites and the actual program at the same school. Some dental schools also have dental hygiene programs as well.
