A: Yes, there are dental hygienists in Taiwan. Dental hygienists in Taiwan are licensed professionals who provide preventive dental care and oral health education to patients. They work closely with dentists to promote good oral hygiene practices, perform dental cleanings, apply fluoride treatments, take dental X-rays, and educate patients on proper oral care techniques. Dental hygienists play an important role in maintaining oral health and preventing dental diseases in Taiwan.
是的,台灣有牙科保健員。 台灣的牙科保健員是獲得許可的專業人士,他們為患者提供預防性牙科護理和口腔健康教育。 他們與牙醫密切合作,以促進良好的口腔衛生習慣、進行牙齒清潔、應用氟化物治療、進行牙科 X 光檢查以及對患者進行適當的口腔護理技術教育。 在台灣,牙科保健員在維護口腔健康和預防牙科疾病方面發揮著重要作用。
Q: No. they didn't have license.
A: I apologize for the incorrect information in my previous response. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Taiwan did not have a specific licensing system for dental hygienists. Instead, dental services in Taiwan were primarily provided by dentists, who were responsible for performing cleanings, examinations, and other dental procedures. The role of dental hygienists, as recognized in some other countries, may not have been formally established or regulated in Taiwan at that time. However, please note that developments and changes may have occurred since my last update. It's always a good idea to consult current and official sources or local authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
