The dental hygienist thoroughly checked my gums, on the outside and inside, for any cavities at the roots of my teeth. Does this sound natural?
- English (UK)
A little unnatural
Dental hygienistはちょっと変だと思います。日本語は「歯医者」で、英語は「dentist」でしょう(・・?)
- Japanese
Dentists don't usually do this kind of plaque-cleaning job themselves, not in Japan at least.
Aren't there hygienists, or such qualified assistants, in dental cliniques in America?
Does simple 'hygienists' make more sense?
- English (UK)
A little unnatural
Hygienist does make sense, but I have never heard of them in Australia. What you previously described, 'checking the gums for cavities' is what my dentist would do for me in Australia. However, I think if you are referring to them, saying dentist hygienist would be better than just hygienist (^^)
