Dental hygiene is a discipline with over a hundred years of history. At the turn of the millennium, this concept was only known to a handful of patients and professionals in the Czech Republic. Many people are not aware of the fact that dental hygiene is not a premium service for a selected group of patients, but an integral part of current stomatology. The present article provides an overview of historical milestones in the discipline of dental hygiene and a job description of the profession of dental hygienist as embedded in Czech legislation. Finally, perspectives of the dental hygiene discipline are discussed.

Keywords: dental hygiene, dental hygienist, oral cavity, dentition, legislation
