What is an Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary (EFDA)?
An Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary (EFDA) is a Certified Dental Assistant that can perform the same tasks as a dental assistant, plus place restorations and sealants, working under the indirect supervision and full responsibility of a licensed dentist. To qualify as an EFDA, an individual must pass the Ohio State Dental Board designated examination, hold a current CPR certification and a current certification as a Dental Assistant Radiographer and be registered by the Ohio State Dental Board.
What is a Registered Dental Hygienist?
Dental hygienists are licensed professionals who help dentists provide treatment and care of the mouth, teeth, and gums. Hygienists examine patients' teeth and gums, removing tarter and stains. They also perform root planning, take x-rays, and help diagnose problems of decay. To practice, dental hygienists must be licensed by the State Dental Board and must graduate from a school of dental hygiene passing both a written and a clinical examination administered by the state.
