Dental hygiene care is available at all private dental practices. Hygienists or dentists deliver dental hygiene care in the form of prophylaxes (cleanings), x-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, dietary counseling, and home care instructions. Dental hygiene care is aimed toward prevention of dental diseases. To receive reduced-cost dental hygiene care, visit one of the dental hygiene schools in Georgia, where dental hygiene students treat patients under the supervision of faculty members.
