Would you ever trade service for service with another healthcare provider or small business? I've been thinking about getting some light Botox on my forehead, and the lady in the med spa next to the clinic I work at says she'll do it for free if I clean her teeth. I've never traded services before, is this a bad idea/frowned upon? It seems like a great deal honestly.

I never have, but I would in a heartbeat. I wish I could find someone to trade tax preparation services for a cleaning. We give out free coupons for them all the time anyway, so I could actually get my time and moneys worth out of it if I traded services.

Hell yes!

Yes am a dental hygienist

I want to say yes, but make sure you get permission from the "boss" ... whether that be the dentist or HR. Because you would technically be taking away from their bottom line. You and the person you trade services with would benefit, but who pays for the supplies you are using? Are you doing it on company time?
