What is the difference between my dentist and a dental hygienist?

Q.
My dentist has recommended that I go and visit my dental hygienist but can you please tell me what the difference is. What kind of special treatment am I going to get here?
A.
I do not understand what is being recommended and why.  In most states the dentist employes the hygienist.  Perhaps he doesn’t have one or you live in a state where dental hygienists practice independent of the dentist.  I expect you won’t get any specialty treatment other than your teeth cleaned.  Dr. Lemongello
