@meagan_rdh: Experiencing loneliness as a hygienist. I’m also the youngest hygienist (by like a decade or two..) and I’ve never really gotten a chance to work with another hygienist around my age. I want to have fun and bond with my colleagues, and not just go to work, do my job and leave ya know? Any other hygienist ever experience this? #fyp #dental #dentalhygienist #hygienist #dentistry
I always have fomo when I hear the staff talking or laughing and I’m stuck in my isolating room all day 😭💔

Yup. Sometimes I hear my coworkers chit chatting/giggling and it can feel very isolating! Especially when I’m running behind and stressed or back to back alllllll day with no downtime.

Even though I am not in the dental field, I experience the same exact thing in everyday life, so I completely understand how isolating feels! You have SUCH a genuinely BRIGHT, FUN and WARM energy just speaking to the camera! Any workplace or community would be INCREDIBLY LUCKY to have someone like you around!!! It is tough when you completely feel at a different pace of life than everybody else but you are such a beautiful and one of the sweetest hygienists around!!! Any patient or workplace would be LUCKY to have you Meagan!! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do everyday!!

I always think about this for my fellow hygienists 😢 I try to include them as much as I can because they are on opposite sides of the ops and just working alone all day

I can even be running around to different rooms. But the energy the others give me verses everyone else is different. I’m told it’s me and how I come off, but it felt that way when I started working there

I moved offices because of this (and a lot of other reasons). I couldn’t stand being so alone and having no one to collaborate with or learn with/from
