THE DENTIST
I love my dentist. I've been going to that office for more than 20 years. My family goes there, the same woman is still at the front desk and it's like they are part of my family. I don't like how talkative my dental hygienist has become. It's not so much that she's talking, it's that she's talking and not working. I don't have all day to clear my schedule for a teeth cleaning....not that it needs to be rushed, or that it needs to be formal, but I believe there need to be some guidelines.
I have a few friends in the ever so competitive dental hygiene school so I ask you....are you taught "proper techniques for casual conversation" during routine visits in any of your studies? If you are, my hygienist has clearly forgotten them. I'm by no means upset with her, I just think that my dentist needs to have a refresher course on if you're talking (especially about yourself) keep on workin lady! The only time instruments and tools should be taking a break is when I have to answer, which should not be often....clearly an addition to my Dental visit Rules Book. i can't be alone on this one....am I?

As one of your friends in the dental hygiene program, they don't teach us casual convo lol. They focus more on qaulity of care and efficiency. Being in the dental field for 7yrs, no hygienist will be offended if you ask her not to talk to you while she is working. Just let her know. Sometimes you see a certain patient for so long that they feel comfortable enough to just talk. Catch my drift?
