Hi,
I am a dental hygienist from Canada. I was wondering if anyone could help me find information in English about the regulations regarding dental hygienists practicing in the DR.
I am particularly looking for information regarding if dental hygienists are allowed to practice independently from dentists.
Also, I have seen many "smile clinics" that offer tooth whitening. Is tooth whitening a procedure that only dentists are allowed to do or can dental hygienists also allowed to provide this service?
I have heard that only dentists can do this but also, I have heard that dental hygienists can also do this.
I have visited the ministry of public health but I do not speak spanish, and am having difficulty navigating the site.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!
