* Perform full mouth debridement, either as a first stage gingivitis therapy or to remove interfering calculus to further enable a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

* Associates or Bachelor's degree in dental hygiene.
* Current Basic Life Support (BLS) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certificate.
