It’s funny because both peds and perio are the two specialties that I would be most interested in! 😂

Wait this is so helpful ironically for a hygiene student slowly building aspirations on which specialty I would like to focus in 🥺 appreciate for you both in working in your own specialties and just sharing this with so much joy

The way I was waiting for her to say probing lol. That’s not necessary on kids. And a huge perk of peds

Kolby 🤍 :
you know you make such a great point on watching parents neglect their kids. was an assistant and when parents refused certain things i would feel like i failed the child but at the same time i can’t force anyone.

To your #1 same, once I told a parent that I should call CPS on them and then I yelled at another one for live-streaming her kids first dental visit (the kid was 8) 😭

“Mr thirsty” makes me cringe. I speak to kids like they are adults and they all do a fine job 🤷🏼♀️
