Do you have to be an extrovert a dental hygienist?

No, you do not have to be an extrovert to be a dental hygienist. While some may believe that only extroverts would be successful in the field, the truth is that there are many successful hygienists who are introverts. Introverted dental hygienists often find enjoyment in the hands-on work of the position, such as cleaning teeth and providing oral care, without feeling uncomfortable talking with customers.
