Å primary dental healthcare provider who cleans your teeth. Dental Hygienists first earn a degree, which takes 4 years. The first 2 years of college classes are the same pre-reqs as nurses; the 2nd 2 years are dental. After graduating, they must take a national written board exam, a regional practical board exam, and sometimes a state board exam, in addition to a state jurisprudence exam. We clean teeth, take X-rays, & do surgery on patients with gum disease. In some states, we restore teeth, too. Dental hygienists are highly educated, and can make 6 figures a year. This dental hygienist makes $150!
