How does a dental hygienist use math in their daily routine?

Counting teeth, ordering supplies, paying workers, setting costs, so much more numbers. But math is also geometry, so identifying the shape of tools for between teeth and such is included. They need to make model teeth sometimes, and they need to know what to mix (two ounces this, 4 cups this, etc.) to make molds.

How does a dental hygienist use math in their daily routine?
they count your teeth?
Reply:Here's what I can come up with:


-The teeth are numbered a certain way


-Measuring pockets when perio-charting


-Measuring amounts of certain materials for mixing things


-Possibly doing some accounting work


-Possibly numbing up a patient





Hmm, not much, but I hope that helps!
Reply:It sounds like you are a student planning to become a dental hygenist but you are forced to study math, a subject you do not like.





From my experiences in the work force, you need math at sometime in every job.
Reply:She goes like this: One, two three, four, five, etc.


When she reaches thirty two she'll have counted all the teeth and then she takes a nap.
