To legally work at this level, the following skills and abilities are required – the ability to administer local anesthetic agents; knowledge of using and operating X-ray machines; knowledgeable about oral hygiene and dental health, current CPR certificate, and state hygiene license; and staying current on Hepatitis B vaccination. An Associate’s degree from an accredited hygiene program is commonly seen on eligible resumes.
