We're talking about a hygienist not a dentist. They do teeth cleanings and assist the doc'. And having just gotten my teeth cleaned yesterday by my dental student sister, I can comfortably say that there is not that much room for really fucking things up. Yeah, maybe you can nic someone in the gums with the pick, but that's about it.
- BrandonM 16y agoI just had my teeth cleaned today. The hygienist did an exemplary job and still my teeth and gums are sore. Perhaps there's no worry with healthy teeth, but someone who has brittle teeth or a somewhat-hidden cavity could definitely receive damage at the hands of a careless hygienist. That's not to mention the general stench of some of that crap that gets picked out, the filthiness of some people's mouths, spending a half hour or more hunched over someone with bad breath, and the opportunity for someone (especially a child) to bite you while you're working. I'll take software engineer, please.
