@meagan_rdh: Happy National Dental Hygiene Month! Your hygienists work their tails off to keep your mouth as clean and healthy as possible while also educating you about your oral health. It’s not easy being a hygienist and it can be a very thankless job. Show some love and appreciation to your hygienist the next time you see them lol. #fyp #pov #dentalhygienist #dental #dentistry

I literally close my eyes sometimes so I can feel more. Am I crazy? 😆 Not to scale, just to feel with an explorer. 😂

On top of all of that we’re also dealing with sensitivity, saliva, cheeks, tongue and anxiety

I just had a patient yesterday that I was doing localized SRP on in my perio office and I could see calc on the distal of two and mesial 31 from the previous x-rays taken in January. so I decided to take a post-op xray lo and behold there is a huge chunk of calculus on the distal of 31 because there was no view of the distal 31 in the x-rays and it was underneath a crown margin. I could not find that for the longest time, trying to feel for that. I ended up feeling it from the mesial distal aspect of it instead of the straight distal and when I finally got it loose it was stuck in there and I had to get it out from the lingual and it was that nice black green color. I'd never been so dang excited in my life and that wasn't even a tooth I needed to scale and root plane.

Say that again TECHNIQUE MY manager said she can do my job and do cleanings in 10 minutes 😂. That's why we take patients 50 minutes late.

I think the absolute hardest thing about the job is the emotional management of the patient. It's like walking on eggshells at all times. Entirely exhuasting...

the funniest part is that they wouldn't even have to if they just properly brushed and flossed everyday.😅 but instead of that they'd rather scale their own calcified bacteria that they don't remove at home

I wish we would just stop using the word cleaning … it’s so degrading to what we actually do

Even told a parent about how we are “rebranding” the term “cleaning” as “maintenance.” Because what we do is more than just cleaning the teeth. We are working to make sure we are maintaining the health of your mouth.
