Quotes

“We as hygienists know about so many things, we are so freaking smart.”

 

“Everyday I was so excited to go to work, and that continued for a few years, and then I got tired.”

 

“Going to an office that was all paper I found to be really distracting and difficult.”

 

“You were trying to go from halfway hygiene, to wholehearted hygiene.”

 

“Where does your knowledge go when you cross a State line.”

 

“I just want my teeth cleaned, just clean my teeth, I just want my teeth cleaned.”

 

“I have had so many patients come in and they have no clue what we are doing, they think the prophy paste at the end of the appointment is the cleaning…nevermind the work I’ve been doing for the past 30 minutes.”

 

“Discussing with the patient what we do, and what it does for them is huge.”

 

“A lot of the struggle is with us.”
