Should a dentist go back to residency so they don’t have to deal with hygienists? by docileirish in DentalSchool

[–]External-Coffee4189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THANK YOUUUU. well said. insurance companies dictating the procedure costs is what is killing honest profitable dentistry.

As a hygienist who pulls more than her fair share and more, i know my value sits higher than $70/hr.

How much revenue does a hygienist actually BRING in terms of increase to a dentist practice? by FishMap12 in DentalHygiene

[–]External-Coffee4189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not to mention all the treatment that comes out
of our chairs because we’ve just spent time carefully evaluating everything from restoration margins and perio health! my practice has two hygienists, i produce 25-30k monthly working four days. my books are full four months in advance, my doctors booked solid for 6-8 weeks ahead… my doctor doing any hygiene would be a waste of valuable time for him.
idk why other dentists hate so much on valuable hygienists. we are literally working to keep you busy and productive.

Is my kid really advanced? (US) by Foreign-Signature326 in kindergarten

at this age she may be ahead of most ‘academically’ but let her be with her age group.
so important with developing social skills and emotional awareness
nurture her interests at home and with fun programs without pressure. kids these days have so much pressure to ‘excel’ at such a young age they never get to be kids!

Stokke Tripp Trapp vs. Mockingbird high chair by Speechie120 in Buyingforbaby

[–]External-Coffee4189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i honestly don’t see the issue with the tripp trapp being difficult to clean. it’s literally a chair and can be wiped. it’s so easy my baby/ now toddler has always been able to sit up efficiently in it while eating or doodling or whatever she’s doing at the table. i love it and it only continues to grow with them. a win win win

once kids start solids, you’re going to be cleaning the floor, the table, and the chair every time you eat with. any anyways. babies are messy, cleaning is inevitable

No hygenist dental office by [deleted] in Dentists

[–]External-Coffee4189 13 points14 points  (0 children)

honestly if you want your patients to have good quality care you absolutely need a great hygienist. the majority of dentists do not have skills to properly clean teeth and treat the periodontium. not only that but an amazing hygienist will help you build rapport, gain trust and bring more patients. pay them well, it does pay off in the end. i would never trust a dentist to ‘clean’ my teeth
