Do dental hygienists order things like toothpaste and other equipment?
Yes, the hygienist order what they need for their prophy patients, the office orders what they need and the assistants usually order their dental materials.
In most offices it is the way I've described, although every office is different, I know of several others that have one hygienist that does all of the ordering for the hygienist and the assistants. This is done by asking the assistants what they are out of or what do they need. In all of the offices I know of, the front office always takes care of their own since their supplies are on a totally different spectrum from what the hygienist and assistants needs are.
As for the responder who is a certified assistant with x ray experience/training that could save her doctor a lot. It doesn't matter what training or how much experience you may have to be given the authority to do the ordering. Your doctor is going to give that authority to the person that he trust, who is familiar with the materials he likes to use and who knows what it takes to keep his office running smoothly. Your doctor may not be so concerned with saving money when it comes to taking care of his patients, no matter what you think each of his patients hour is worth.
Do dental hygienists order things like toothpaste and other equipment?
do you mean for their office.. or personally?
Reply:In some offices they do.
From what I've found, office's that have office trained demtal assistant's make the hygienist do most of the work.
I am an assistant and I am used to doing the ordering for offices, but I have recently transfered to a new job. This dentist is used to training his own assistants and I am certified w/ and x-ray license. He doesn't allow me to do the ordering (which ticks me off). The hygienist does all of our ordering and her own.
Personally, I would ask for more money if you are going to do the ordering and cleaning teeth. The dentist is already making alot of money off of you.
Us assistant's aren't paid as well as we should be (considering every pt. is worth atleast $200/hr.)
If you are not a hygienist and just pondering, most of the time, the dental assistant does the ordering for the office.
It really depends on the office and the situation.
In my case, I am a well knowledged assistant and know alot about products and prices of products. If the dentist I worked for allowed me to order, I could save him a bundle! But, he opts for his hygienist to do so. Sucks for him.... :P

Why Is Safety important when operating a dental xray equipment?
give me the good explanation on this pls
Why Is Safety important when operating a dental xray equipment?
Getting exposed to xrays can cause problems in high dosages as xrays effects are cumulative. This is why people getting radiation for cancer can actually get a "radiation burn". You are also exposed to radiation on a day to day basis by getting sunshine exposure and even more if you fly. Hope that's helpful
JAMRDH- a dental hygienist
Reply:The actual amount of radiation you receive from a dental x ray is actually less than you receive from the sun in an average day of just walking around. The reason we put the lead vests on patients is because just not to submit them to anymore radiation than they already receive. Pregnant women should try to avoid x-rays if possible, but sometimes they are necessary. It is believed that over exposure to raditation can increase the risk of birth defects and low birth weight. But dental x-rays differ than normal x-rays. The machine has a cone attached to it so it shoots the x-ray at a specific area and the x-ray scatter is very minimal.
Imagine all that radiation that a dentist would be exposed to after about 30 years of taking x rays. Usually the dentist leaves the room when he takes the x-ray.
Reply:An x-ray machine puts out photons of electo-magnetic radiation. The x-rays are produced by high voltage electrons striking the anode of the tube.
RADs, Radio-active absorbed dosage is the amount of radiation the patient receives.
REMs, Rontgen Equivalent Mann, is the amount of radiation received by the staff, over a period of one year. If an x-ray machine puts out more then 5 REMs per year, it can not be used in a medical field.

Why Is Safety important when operating a dental xray equipment?
pls can you help me give me the best answer pls....
Why Is Safety important when operating a dental xray equipment?
Dental x-rays are an important tool for assessing oral health. They allow dentists to diagnose gum, bone, and endodontic (inside the tooth) diseases, as well as see cavities that may be between your teeth, hidden from view. Without the help of dental x-rays, these problems could be overlooked, leading to discomfort, bad breath, chewing difficulty, loss of teeth, and other complications associated with poor dental health. To help put things in perspective, a full set of dental x-rays is equivalent to about one day's typical exposure to the sun and other environmental rays. Considering that people are constantly surrounded by these rays, which can even travel through windows and buildings, exposure through dental x-rays is comparably minimal. Therefore, the benefits definitely outweigh the dangers.
A complete set of dental x-rays includes fourteen to eighteen images of different areas of your mouth and jaw. These should be taken once every two to five years, depending on your oral health. Check-up x-rays, called "bitewings," are needed every one to two years, again depending on your individual situation. One way to minimize repeat or unnecessary x-rays is to develop an ongoing relationship with your dentist so that s/he can track your oral hygiene and health consistently. If you switch dentists, have the previous provider send a copy of your records to the new office. This way, the new Dr. Tooth can have an accurate picture of your dental care needs. To protect the rest of your body from dental x-rays, dentists are required to cover your chest and stomach with one of those lovely lead aprons.
Reply:In everything you do, safety is always important.
Reply:I am going to give a much shorter and direct answer. Ex-rays can be dangerous, it can damage a fetus or interfere of a woman getting pregnant or a male from fathering a child.
That is why they cover your abdomen and sexual organs with a lead apron/shield.
