Ergonomic interventions may help dental hygienists protect their musculoskeletal health.

When investigating ergonomic interventions, oral health professionals should incorporate this important process to increase the likelihood of success.

With the help of new technology, clinicians can enhance their view of the oral cavity while improving ergonomics and patient care.

Dental hygienists can use a variety of techniques to reduce the negative effects of stress.

Musculoskeletal injuries are common among dental professionals but they can be prevented.

An individually designed program provided by a physical therapist can help oral health professionals improve strength, flexibility, endurance, and patterns of posture and movement.

Selecting a seating option that supports a neutral spine and promotes comfort will help dental hygienists reduce the ergonomic risks faced in clinical practice.

The same ergonomic tools used by dental hygienists to improve visual acuity may also help patients strengthen their self-care regimens.

These complementary therapies can help reduce the recurring musculoskeletal pain often experienced by clinical dental hygienists.

A variety of interventions is available to help clinicians reduce the risk of injury and practice more efficiently.
