This course addresses the underestimation of dental hygienists' roles by referring to their work as "cleanings" and emphasizes the importance of accurately using the seven specific CDT codes that describe their preventive/therapeutic services. It highlights the challenge of dental software only showing code numbers and titles, not the detailed descriptors, and the lack of awareness among educators about these descriptors. The course encourages interactive discussions on improving the teaching of these CDT codes within dental hygiene programs, sharing strategies for better integration into the curriculum.
