Overview

Ethics, Jurisprudence and Practice Management in Dental Hygiene is designed to orient
students to clinical practice and its many applications in an office setting.
Although dentists, dental practices and dental hygiene can be generalized, each practice
is unique in its daily operations and policies. This resource explains how the art and
science of dental hygiene continues to progress and evolve. More states have entered
into independent or alternative practice settings for experienced dental hygienists. Strategies are being developed to increase cultural competencies and multidisciplinary collaboration, as well as to increase the number of minorities in the oral health workforce. Finally, dental hygienists are utilizing more of their skills as oral health is becoming an important entity of general health.
