@teethtalkgirl: You see the dental hygienist for a longer amount of time than the dentist at your routine checkups so make sure you are seeing a GOOD hygienist. Dental Hygienist Red Flags: 🚩Skipping Perio Charting 🚩No Oral Cancer Screening 🚩Rushed Appointments 🚩Lack of Communication Trust Your Gut: Ultimately, you should feel comfortable and confident with your dental hygienist. If something feels off, it’s okay to seek a second opinion or choose a different provider. Quality dental care is crucial for your overall health, so don’t settle for less than what you deserve. PS! To hygienists watching this: please don’t feel bad if you’ve ever felt rushed during an appointment, or had to “wait until next time” to perio chart! Y’all know I’m not talking bout you! I’m talking about peeps who never once have perio charted a patient after graduating DH school 😳 #dentistappointment #teethcleaning #dentistry
