Working with a dental hygienist in Ireland

D MacCarthy. J Ir Dent Assoc. 2000.

Abstract

The category of dental hygienist was introduced in Ireland in 1990 in accordance with the scheme made by The Dental Council [An Chomhairle Fiacloireachta] under the provision of Part VII of the Dentists Act 1985. This paper sets out and discusses the instructions of the Dental Council for employing/supervising dentists and registered dental hygienists as they apply at the time of writing. The current status and possible future developments are also considered in relation to the delivery of patient care by the dental team.
