a dental hygienist's primary job is education, which can lead to prevention. he or she also takes radiographs, cleans teeth, and gives a dental hygiene diagnosis in which a treatment plan is derived. because a hygienist works with the patient for a longer period of time, the dentist relies on him or her for identification of "suspicious lesions" and other dental health concerns.

The hinge of your jaw.
Last night I was grinding my teeth and now my temporal mandibular joint is sore.
