Dental Hygiene Services CDT Codes


Dental hygienists help dentists prevent and treat oral diseases. They work under the supervision of dentists in dental offices. Hospitals, nursing homes and public health clinics also employ them to provide dental hygiene services for patients. Relevant CDT codes or procedure codes are available to report the services provided by dental hygienists. Dental offices and their dental billing companies must be up to date with CDT coding updates and guidelines to provide proper care and submit accurate claims.
