牙齒衞生員在牙醫指導下洗牙、去牙石、塗氟及提供口腔健康教育，並協助檢查牙周狀況。此職位不可獨立診斷或補牙。香港自 2026 年 8 月起把牙齒衞生員納入牙科護理專業人員註冊制度。
醫療護理呢個行業係點運作
醫院、診所、院舍同社區護理。呢個行業最特別嘅地方係「以註冊定身分」：護士、醫生、牙醫、藥劑師、中醫、物理治療師各有法定管理局把關，冇註冊就唔可以用該職銜執業；支援崗位（健康服務助理、藥房助理）唔需要法定註冊，門檻較低，亦係好多人先入行、再進修嘅起點。
Hospitals, clinics, care homes and community care. This sector defines people by registration: nurses, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, Chinese medicine practitioners and physiotherapists each answer to a statutory board, and an unregistered person may not use those titles. Support roles such as health care assistants or pharmacy assistants carry no statutory registration and a lower threshold, and are a common first step before further study.

呢份工嘅主要性質係：體力與手作 · 照顧與輔導 · 對人服務。以下逐項講清楚實際係點做。
靠雙手同身體完成工作：搬抬、切割、安裝、清潔或手工製作，多數要長時間站立、走動或用力。
The work is done with your hands and body — lifting, cutting, installing, cleaning or crafting — usually with long hours standing, walking or exerting force.
工作核心係照顧或支援特定人嘅身心需要（長者、病人、兒童、情緒受困者），要建立信任同保密。
The core of the job is looking after or supporting someone’s physical or emotional needs — an older person, a patient, a child or someone in distress — which takes trust and confidentiality.
大部分工作時間係同人打交道：客人、病人、學生、住戶或公眾，講求溝通、耐性同情緒管理。
Most of the day is spent dealing with people — customers, patients, students, residents or the public — so communication, patience and emotional control matter.

牙齒衞生員的工作圍繞預防與輔助：洗牙、去除牙石、打磨牙面、塗氟與密封劑，並向病人講解口腔衞生與協助檢查牙周狀況。這些工作須在牙醫指導下進行。職位不可以獨立作診斷，也不可以做補牙等屬牙醫的治療。清楚知道自己可以做甚麼、不可以做甚麼，是這一行必須清楚緊守的重要專業界線。
自2026年8月24日起，《牙醫註冊條例》（第156章）關於「牙科護理專業人員」（DenCPs）的條文生效，把牙齒衞生員納入新的註冊制度。第12部及附表3訂明其執業範圍與資格，註冊編號以「RDH」開首。此前，牙齒衞生員的登記由《牙科輔助人員（牙齒衞生員）規例》處理。新制度由香港牙醫管理委員會執行，並負責維持牙科護理專業人員的註冊名冊。
認可資格包括本地院校開辦並獲牙醫管理委員會認可的牙科衞生課程。申請註冊者須完成認可課程，並向牙醫管理委員會申請註冊為牙科護理專業人員（牙齒衞生員類別）。註冊牙齒衞生員須持有並按年續領執業證明書，與牙醫的執業要求一致。工作直接涉及病人口腔健康，因此亦須熟悉感染控制與器械消毒。
English
A dental hygienist's work centres on prevention and support: scaling, removing calculus, polishing tooth surfaces, applying fluoride and sealants, explaining oral hygiene and helping assess gum condition. This work is done under a dentist's supervision. The role may not diagnose independently or carry out dentist-only treatment such as fillings. Knowing what one may and may not do is an important professional boundary in this field. Hygienists also advise patients on brushing, flossing and diet, and record the condition of the teeth and gums for the dentist.
From 24 August 2026, the provisions of the Dentists Registration Ordinance (Cap. 156) on dental care professionals (DenCPs) came into effect, bringing dental hygienists into a new registration system. Part 12 and Schedule 3 set out their scope of practice and qualifications, and registrants' numbers begin with "RDH". Previously, enrolment was handled under the Ancillary Dental Workers (Dental Hygienists) Regulations. The new system is administered by the Dental Council of Hong Kong. Registration is a legal requirement for practice in this class.
Recognised qualifications include dental hygiene programmes run by local institutions. An applicant must complete a recognised programme and apply to the Dental Council of Hong Kong for registration as a dental care professional in the dental hygienist class. A registered dental hygienist must hold and annually renew a practising certificate, in line with the requirement for dentists. Because the work directly concerns patients' oral health, familiarity with infection control and instrument sterilisation is essential. Qualifications of registrants are kept on the Council's register.
