• Creates periodontal treatment plans based on the dentist's diagnosis.

• Instruct patients on good oral hygiene practices, recommend appropriate products or devices for patients' home care, and provide other health care education, as necessary.

• Perform prophylaxis in the absence of periodontal disease or gingivitis.

• 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.

• Perform scaling and root planing as a periodontal therapy.

• Place locally administered antibiotics as supportive periodontal therapy.

• Implement irrigation and desensitizing procedures or products as adjunctive to periodontal therapy.

• Position and expose dental and carpal radiographic film and sensors.

• Perform in-office whitening procedures, including changing of bleaching agent (following initial applications by the dentist) during the bleaching process of vital and non-vital teeth after the placement of a rubber dam; applying the fiber-optic light source of a curing light for activation of the bleach (not to include the use of a laser device).

?NOTE: The RDH is not permitted to apply the first application of bleaching gel; the dentist must perform this procedure.

• All other duties and responsibilities as assigned and allowed under applicable Georgia state laws and regulations.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Must be licensed and in good standing with the state of Georgia.

• Associates or Bachelor's degree in dental hygiene.

• Current Basic Life Support (BLS) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certificate.

• Must be willing to partner with the dentist and work well as a member of the total dental team. Should have visual acuity and manual dexterity, since they use dental instruments within a patient's mouth with little room for error.

An RDH must also wear appropriate personal protective equipment including, at minimum, safety glasses, surgical masks, full arm length gowns/lab coats, and gloves to protect themselves and patients from infectious diseases during all patient care and when handling contaminated instruments or equipment.
