# Dental Hygienists

*/Occupations/Dental_Hygienists*

Total Employment: 720

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.35
**Rationale**: The role exhibits a hybrid profile strongly anchored in hands-on clinical care. Physical gating dominates the core work, evidenced by perfect 5.00 scores in 'Spend Time Using Your Hands' and 'Wear Common Protective Equipment', alongside high 'Exposed to Disease' (4.97). However, the prominent use of 20 IT/software tools (segment 43) for imaging and charting, paired with high importance for 'Documenting/Recording Information' (4.17), lifts the occupation into the lower end of the hybrid band.
