## What is the difference between a dentist and a dental hygienist?
Many patients wonder when to see the dentist and when to see the dental hygienist. The distinction is straightforward.

The dentist makes diagnoses, treats cavities, performs fillings, extractions and other procedures, and coordinates your dental care.

The dental hygienist focuses on prevention and gum health. This includes professionally removing tartar and plaque, treating inflamed gums (periodontitis) and providing personalised brushing advice.

Both are independent care providers. You can make an appointment with the dental hygienist without a referral. At Een Tandje Hoger, the dentist and dental hygienist work closely together, so your oral health is monitored as a whole.
