dental hygienists
another route someone could go when pursuing a career in dentistry is a dental hygienist. dental hygienists are responsible for performing cleanings on people’s teeth when they visit the dentist. this career only requires an associate’s degree, and it’s very high in demand in the dentistry field. between the two roles, the dental hygienist position is more of a “people job” than the dentist. on regular visits and checkups, people spend the majority of their time with the dental hygienist rather than with the dentist. being able to talk to people, make them feel comfortable, and give clear directions is an important aspect of the job. unlike adults, it’s incredibly difficult to convince children to stay calm during their visits. consoling and speaking with children is a helpful skill to have when children need their teeth checked and cleaned.

why is consoling and communicating effectively with children important for dental hygienists?

children are more cooperative than adults during dental checkups.

children generally prefer the dentist over the hygienist.

it’s challenging to keep children calm during dental visits.

• Second option: The passage has no info about children preferring dentist over hygienist. Eliminate.
• Third option: The passage states "it's incredibly difficult to convince children to stay calm during their visits", so consoling and communicating helps with this challenge. This matches.

It’s challenging to keep children calm during dental visits.
