Are you finding that more and more people don’t even floss or brush before appointments? It’s sad that they don’t seem to care.

Sorry my friend…people can be really GROSS! I am a former dental assistant. Maybe they wouldn’t be so lax if they understood that their WHOLE body/health is affected by their oral health?! People just do not get it; they don’t make the connection at all!

Have them floss and brush before you start services. Doing this will generally take care of the initial debris in office prior to treatment. If there is anything they missed use it as a teaching moment.

I've been a dental assistant for 11 years , and I think I'm done . I feel the pay is never enough and 9/10 we do the most work in the office .

It's a skill I'm glad to know that I can always find work but the burnout for nothing isn't worth it. Can anyone relate
