-
Preparing and Assisting with Diagnostics: Taking impressions for diagnostic models, assisting with periodontal screenings, and recording patient medical histories.

Post-Treatment Care: Educating patients on recovery after procedures like gum surgery, ensuring they understand follow-up care and maintenance to prevent recurrence of periodontal diseases.

Cleaning and Polishing: Performing basic dental cleaning procedures such as scaling (removal of plaque and tartar) and polishing to maintain oral hygiene and prevent gum disease.
-
Plaque Disclosing: Using disclosing agents to show patients where plaque buildup occurs and helping them improve their brushing techniques.
