How mathematics relates to my career

While going to City Tech my major and also my choosen career is to become a Dental   Hygienist. Dental Hygienists must clean patients teeth which consists of removing plaque and tartar. Mathematics relates to my career because dental hygienists use it every day in there working field. For example hygienists must be able to add, subtract, dividew, and multiply. Many hygienists assist such as the patients bills or insurance claims. They must be able to calculate the amount of material needed for a specific job based on the standard mixture.
Most dental programs require hygienists to master beginning or intermediate algebra. A limited amount of algebra is necessary to solve equations related to the job. For example, when setting and operating an X-ray machine, it may be necessary to solve an equation comparing film density and exposure time, magnification, or the ratio of exposures to distances.
