Which title can a validly licensed individual legally append to their name?

  1. Registered Dental Hygienist

  2. Dental Hygiene Expert

  3. Licensed Dental Practitioner

  4. Certified Dental Technician

The correct answer is: Registered Dental Hygienist

The title "Registered Dental Hygienist" is a legally recognized designation for individuals who have completed the necessary education and licensing requirements to practice dental hygiene. This title is protected by law, meaning that only those who have successfully obtained a license from the appropriate regulatory body can use it. It accurately reflects the individual's qualifications and ensures public trust in the professional services they provide. In contrast, titles such as "Dental Hygiene Expert," "Licensed Dental Practitioner," and "Certified Dental Technician" do not have the same level of legal recognition in many jurisdictions. These titles may be used informally but do not necessarily indicate that the individual has met the specific standards or regulatory requirements to practice in their respective fields. Therefore, excluding the Registered Dental Hygienist title, these alternate titles lack the formal legal protection and recognition required for professional practice in dental hygiene.
